How accurate is the Racing Post Betting Forecast when trading Cheltenham?
As they are big races, form is key therefore the Racing Post Betting forecast should be pretty accurate ?
For example, if some horses on Betfair are shorter than the Racing Post forecast price are they likely to drift and vice versa?
Or is it just down to market sentiment where the price is going to go?
Grateful for any input to this. Thanks in advance.

The thing to be aware of is that these will most likely be bookmaker prices with giant overrounds built in. As a consequence, they won't be comparable to Betfair prices because Betfair prices can move well out of bounds and still be within these overrounds.
