Cheltenham 2026 Prices

Someone in here used to do this far better than I ever could but I thought it would be useful to track 2026 prices ahead of Aintree.

Agree, sounds positive with regards to his injury too. Wouldn't put you off having some of the 40s ryanair as well. Hes that type of horse with the right tactics will stay the Gold cup trip and they obviously targeting the race however I like him over the Ryanair trip too. Overpriced for both.

I think it’s more likely that Pauling aims Handstands at the Ryanair.

Yes agree, but stranger things of happened than a late race swap for whatever reason and I'm not taking much chances this year. :eagerness:
 
I’ve waded into Ksar Fatal for both the Supreme & Turners over the weekend. I’d probably be leaning more towards the Turners if I had to pick one.

Three winners of that Gowran bumper have gone on to win the race in First Lieutenant, Yorkhill & Bob Olinger.

On breeding he has a nice mix of stamina & a bit of boot on the Dams side backed up by a few nice festival winners in Defi Du Seuil, Espoir D’Allen & Vroom Vroom Mag.

Cardholder has done the form no harm either in his two completed starts.

The issue is his running style based on what we’ve seen probably lends it’s more to the Supreme than the Turners so as always makes sense to cover both if you have the cashout option.

I know he was at the top of the pecking order in the Closutton bumper crop this season & missing the Cheltenham race may prove to be a blessing in disguise for his novice hurdle campaign.

*pinch of salt needed here

But Patrick said they might be looking towards a 2m4f bumper at Punchestown with him next after the Gowran win.

Currently 20/1 Turners with B365 & 25/1 Supreme

There's certainly value about in the novice races if anyone does have a view on the bumper crop. Bambino Fever heads most of them around the 16s mark. You'd be shocked if she went anywhere other than the Mares Novice and even then, when's the last time someone didn't open up 10s or lower!?

Maughreen was like 3's or 4's for the mares novice all through the flat season, horrendous price she was and it showed.

If ever there was a bumper to give a wide berth to form wise it was this year imo.

Place De La Nation is the glaringly obvious pick there if Willie puts her away.

I like the look of the 2026 markets. If anyone fancies a craic at setting up a bit of a syndcate targeting some festival multiples, let me know.
 
Anyone who backed lulamba for the arkle must be concerned about his target this week

Be interesting to see how he gets on, be nice if romeo coolio ran too so we get a proper comparison between the supreme and triumph

Personally at this stage I think the 4yos weren't much cop this season so be interesting to see how he gets on.

Not sure there's any reason to be concerned.
Jango baie placed in the 2m4f handicap hurdle at Aintree last season.

Think it's probably a stretch to use that as a reason not to be worried, if sir gino was fit I doubt it was a plan to ever be going for the arkle with jango.

I think it indicates that they feel he might be better over further at least as a hurdler. So my own thinking would be you'd want him to be a brilliant jumper of a fence to be nailed on arkle. If hes just an average jumper of a fence then it might also be further distances.

Personally have no interest in him for anything at the moment, getting beat by a hurdling debutant in a bunch finish makes his arkle price atrocious imo. People expecting him to be sir gino number two purely because of same connections and being a juvenile from france.

No interest for me Whatsoever for the arkle.
I was however using a recent example of a Henderson horse that went further over hurdles but went and won an arkle.
Shishkin and sprinter sacre also went further over hurdles are 2 more examples.

I agree with what you're saying about him but it's a hendo thing to do it would appear?

If i recall right when shishkin and sprinter ran over further over hurdles it was maiden hurdles or novice hurdles before cheltenham, which was probably just a case of getting them out.

It's just the fact he's running over further for the first time after being beaten in the triumph, and when there is a 2m race against his own age group that he could be easily running in, that makes it seem like it could be slightly more significant.

It's not that he couldn't win the arkle, it's just that it would be a worry that the arkle may not be the trainers target if he goes and puts in an improved display over further.
 
If the Turners was still a race I think it would be more concerning.

Having said that, I haven't and won't be backing him for the Arkle.
 
Impaire Et Passe for the Ryanair, or waits for Aintree again perhaps?
