All change in Ascot Chase betting as Corbetts Cross closes gap

Corbetts Cross' odds of winning Saturday's Betfair Ascot Chase have been slashed by Ladbrokes.

The bookies now have last year's National Hunt Chase winner priced at 2/1 - from 4/1 yesterday - to win this weekend.

It means he's closed the gap on L'Homme Presse, whose odds have drifted from 6/4 to 7/4, and Pic D'orhy (7/4), with every other name now priced at 8/1 or bigger to cause an upset.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "A flurry of bets have shaken up this weekend's Ascot Chase betting and Corbetts Cross is now firmly among the frontrunners... we wouldn't be surprised to see him leapfrog L'Homme Presse and Pic D'orhy in the next few days."

For those interested, Ladbrokes has an 'everything you need to know' piece ahead of next month's Cheltenham Festival, including what races are taking place and a guide to betting at the event.
