Majborough stands out as the clear favorite for the Queen Mother Champion Chase on Day Two of the Cheltenham Festival, and Sky Bet has rolled out an exceptional offer: new customers can back Majborough at 60/1 odds to finish in the top three.
This Willie Mullins-trained six-year-old has already established himself as a leading contender with four wins from seven starts over fences. His recent performance, a dominant 19-length victory over Marine Nationale at the Dublin Racing Festival, has only strengthened his reputation as the next big chasing star.
Majborough’s impressive consistency is highlighted by last year’s narrow third-place finish in the Arkle Stakes, where he was the 1/2 favorite and finished just three-quarters of a length behind the winner. His jumping skills will be crucial on Cheltenham’s tricky course, but he has shown marked improvement with the addition of cheekpieces, helping him stay sharp and mistake-free.

While Il Etait Temps remains a strong competitor despite a recent fall and will run without his usual hood, and L’Eau du Sud brings fresh form after winning the Shloer Chase at Cheltenham, Majborough is widely expected to dominate if he clears the fences cleanly.
Other contenders like Quilixios, who hasn’t raced for a year but showed promise last season, and Found A Fifty, who had bested Majborough earlier but has struggled recently, add intrigue to the race. The rest of the field, including Saint Segal, Libberty Hunter, Irish Panther, Captain Guinness, and Brookie, will need to step up significantly to challenge the front runners.
This enhanced 60/1 offer from Sky Bet presents an outstanding opportunity for new customers to back the standout favorite at generous odds.
