The Somerset yard has been in red hot form ahead of next week’s festival.
With 42% of bets, British trainer Paul Nicholls is the most backed contender in the Cheltenham Festival top trainer market in the past week.
Priced as short as 14/1 but with some bookies sticking at 33/1, the Somerset-based trainer is still a relative outsider in the market despite his yard’s recent stellar form.
Having won the accolade two years running, Irish trainer Gordon Elliott is favourite at 5/4 and the second most backed in the past week, with 25% of bets going his way.
Nicky Henderson heads to this year’s festival with a particularly strong group of hopefuls, priced at 2/1 for the top trainer crown.
With Nicholls and Henderson heading to Cheltenham in top shape, the 6/4 about Great Britain winning the Prestbury Cup is ever more tempting for punters.
Oddschecker spokesperson George Elek: "Paul Nicholls' yard is on fire at the moment and he will be arriving at Prestbury Park in a confident and bullish mood.
"The likes of Clan Des Obeaux and Topofthegame are his leading chances whilst he has a wealth of talent that can outrun their odds.
"In a market typically dominated by a handful of short-priced names, punters have snapped up the longer odds on this season’s form yard."
