January 22, 2014 Andy Clark

The Irish Champion Hurdle takes place on Sunday 26^th February and Bet365 are giving all new customers £200 free to bet on the Grade 1 clash with.

The race at Leopardstown Racecourse on Sunday looks set to be a rematch of the Ryanair Hurdle in December where Hurricane Fly got the better of Jezki and Our Conor in a fantastic performance.

Open a new Bet365 account to bet on the Irish Champion Hurdle and get £200 free.

All three of the main contenders will be heading to the Cheltenham Festival after this race and the Champion Hurdle but will there be a shakeup in the latest Champion Hurdle betting odds after Sunday’s race?

Hurricane Fly leapt to the head of the Champion Hurdle market for the 2014 Cheltenham Festival after his Ryanair Hurdle success and another win here for the Willie Mullins trained superstar will see him shorten up even more for the Festival showpiece.

Bet365 have launched a stunning offer for thatsbettingtips.com readers ahead of Sunday’s Irish Champion Hurdle where you can get a free £200 bet to use on the race. Hurricane Fly is currently 1/2 to win so if you use your free £200 you will pick up a £100 profit.

If you’re backing Jezki to overcome the Champion then using your free bet would return a profit of £700, exactly the same return as if you back Our Conor to win the Irish Champion Hurdle on Sunday.

This race will be critical to our Cheltenham Festival day 1 betting tips where we currently favour Hurricane Fly to win the Champion Hurdle on 11st March, but a poor performance could see us switch allegiance ahead of the Festvial.

Hurricane Fly has won the Irish Champion Hurdle in the past three seasons, going onto win the Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival on two of those three occasions.
