Benie Des Dieux can be the punters’ pal

Hard to recall a Tuesday card at Cheltenham as difficult as today’s but Benie Des Dieux can be the punters’ pal on the opening day to the 2019 Festival by proving a class apart from her rivals in the OLBG Mares’ Hurdle.

On ratings she has very little in hand, but she has only had two runs over hurdles since joining Willie Mullins, the first of which was in this race last year.
