Some great offers like Paddy Power's Vautour and Faugheen to win at 24/1 and Vautour and Sire De Grugy at 16/1. Ladbrokes layed Quevega at 6/4 in the build uphttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30221945/things-ive-learned-at-the-festival?post_id=538472407#538472407Two things for me - follow the major bookies on Twitter in the build up to the Festival.
