Star Sports are offering £50 matched bet on Day 1 at Cheltenham when you bet on the Imperial Cup at Sandown on Saturday!
Star Sports Betting Offer: £50 matched free bet on Tuesday at Cheltenham when you bet on Imperial Cup at Sandown – CLAIM HERE*

The Imperial Cup is a handicap hurdle contest over 2m at Sandown, kicking off at 2.25pm on Saturday.
Lump Sum is among the lineup as the biggest weight and therefore the top-rated horse.
Well ahead of the rest of the big field too, like Knickerbockerglory, the closest rated rival who is rated 8lb below.
This could give horses at the other end of the ratings a big chance if they are on the verge of bursting onto the scene over hurdles.
Especially as there are a few five and six-year-olds who could take this on well.
But there’s each-way potential from so many with the prices starting at around 7/1.
Bo Zenith appeals a lot as one that could improve further and is given 10lb by the top-rated horse.
