Bookmakers reckon there is a strong chance that the 2023 Cheltenham Festival will be hit by snow with temperatures set to drop before the four-day meeting.
With a cold snap expected in the UK from next week, the chances of snowfall at the fixture are now at Evens, according to William Hill. Extremely cold weather is predicted to hit Britain between March 12 and March 26, leaving the Cheltenham Festival vulnerable to being hit by snow.
In 2018 the track was under a blanket of snow a week before the meeting in the wake of a visit from the ‘Beast from the East’.
