coral, one of the largest British bookmakers, is predicting a record £500million+ to be wagered on Cheltenham National Hunt Festival this year. This includes £50million bet at the course itself.

If you want a piece of that £500million then one jockey looking to have a very good Festival is Tony McAvoy. He'll be riding Fota Island in the Queen Mother Champion Chase on Wednesday - if you only have one bet that day, think about backing McAoy.
