Bookmaker announces more great offers on day three of the Festival

Sky Bet are offering the extra place concession in three of the four handicaps on the day three of the Cheltenham Festival on Thursday. In the Pertemps Final, Byrne Group Plate and Kim Muir the Harrogate-based firm will be paying 5 places instead of 4. Meanwhile Ruby Walsh and Paul Nicholls came to the rescue of punters on day two of the Festival when Sanctuaire landed a big gamble in the Fred Winter Hurdle. However, earlier results were bookmaker friendly with Master Minded's eclipse at odds of 4/5 in the Queen Mother Champion Chase making him the second of the 'big four' bankers to blow out. Matt Doyle of Sky Bet said: "We were due a hit and were far enough in front from earlier results on day two to pay out with a smile on the Walsh and Nicholls good thing." On Thursday, defending World Hurdle champion Big Buck's is 8/13 with Sky Bet to turn things around for backers of the Festival bankers.
