BetMGM Cup Betting News

A Grade 3 winner last time out, Storm Heart is a leading contender for Willie Mullins in the hugely competitive BetMGM Cup. Dan Skelton’s Kateira has some smart form in the book and has been well backed in the lead-up to the race. Kopeck De Mee was well fancied on a previous visit to the Cheltenham Festival, but failed to fire. The Yellow Clay, Iberico Lord and Jingko Blue are another three contenders bidding for glory.
