Cheltenham 2026 Prices

I think he's got too much speed for a stayers.

Even though the Stayer’s is run to the identical same distance as the Bartlett and there’s no open intermediate hurdles race at the festival?????

What’s he gonna run in? The Coral Cup off a mark of 150?!?!?!?

East India Dock doesn't interest me for the stayers which was the suggestion to me. I was partly hoping he'd be Champion Hurdle bound after today which was my original post.

CJW was talking about Easter India Dock I think - the comment he quoted referenced EID moving up in trip.

Haven't really been in the loop but what led to Impaire Et Passe missing Cheltenham this year? Is he being saved for Aintree?

I think Willie sees him as a middle distance horse and didn't want to shoehorn him in the Arkle or Brown Advisory and didn't want him carrying a huge weight in the novice handicap

Derryhassen Paddy at 33/1 for the BANC feels pretty reasonable after today's performance.

Couldn’t put you off (and have had a bit myself) but I think The Big Westerner and Wendigo are the two I take from that race. Both had a horrible passage through and ran with credit.

Otherwise, I think Handstands at 40/1 - Ryanair and The Jukebox Man at 40/1 - GC. Look decent bets.

PS - Anyone had a chance to review the 2026 Grand Annual market with Unibet yet? Would be grateful for your thoughts. :black_eyed:

….after his bumper win, there was lots of quotes about Kaiser Ball being a serious one for hurdles next season so I took a little of 33s (Supreme) on offer with BFSB. They’ve now cut him to 20-1 but 365 offer 40-1, so I’ve cashed (for a small profit) and re-backed at that price.

Do you think there's any chance he might be sold? Or the connections just won't be interested? Mentioned that jockey isn't the finest

…..it’s a concern but he’s with Mullins and it’ll be interesting if he runs again this Spring.

Already covered both of Paulings myself so I'm glad to see I'm not alone.

Was just thinking of adding Wendigo to the march yankee thread for the stayers hurdle, think I mentioned Derryhasen Paddy as a RSA type at the beginning of this thread, glad he put in a good show, ground looked a bit lively for him so another year on his back & some fences to aim at, he could be a fair bet at 33/1 with 365.

Didn't see it mentioned but Skelton has said The New Lion goes for the Champion Hurdle, 7/1 best price at the moment.

Also not likely to run again this season.

…..Kawaboomga 33-1 Arkle.

Nice price but wasn’t he Turners bound and talked about as going out in trip, would lean more towards the BANC - assuming he makes a full recovery. Not sure we ever heard what happened to him, just remember Frank Berry describing it as a set back. Guess it’s ok if you have cash out and want him onside.

Daryl carter just put up Minella Premier at 100s for the Supreme, cut within mins of posting..

 

[Hurricane fly]

I know everyone will, but make sure you look around the markets/different bookies there are some crazy differences.

Ksar Fatal 12/1 with one, 40/1 with another
Big Westerner I've seen from 10/1 to 25/1

Reckon his had it priced up for his blog and haggled his price on the basis they'd cut it almost instantly. No other bookie has it priced. irate:

Completely agree. It wasn’t there when I looked this morning.

66/1 about Potters Charm for the Stayers Hurdle looks fair enough. The competition in the UK is poor at best and he’d have a real chance of being the best of them. He wasn’t disgraced in the Ballymore and was probably just a little overraced this year.

Sam Twiston Davies said it’d be the big staying hurdle
races or novice chasing for him next year. Not much of a risk at the price though and I presume it’d be easy enough to cash out on declaration in a novice chase.

Wodhooh at 33/1 for the Stayers is now in the book, she'll obviously have the mares option too but it looks like most MP winners go up in trip eventually, dual winner now on the new course & I think the step up from 2m4f to 3m would suit her down to the ground, not many mare winners over the years but the 7lbs isn't to be sniffed at, just thought she might be one that Gordon might consider sending here next season.
