Bookies go evens Dunguib

The Irish banker at Cheltenham this week is available to back at even money this morning with two of the major bookmaking firms, Ladbrokes and William Hill.

Philip Fenton's potential superstar has been trading at odds-on since his awesome performance at Leopardstown on his most recent outing, but the two firms have decided to put their necks on the block by tempting punters with the offer of even money.

A flood of money is expected for Dunguib who produced the performance of the Festival last year when stroming clear of a hot field in the Weatherbys Champion Bumper.

A bright and sunny morning in Cheltenham will ensure decent ground for the opening day's racing which is expected to suit Dunguib.
