Cheltenham 2026 Prices

Goes without saying, but Kopeck de Mee will be followed by me off a cliff, couldn't believe what I witnessed today by Mark Walsh. At least I know I didn't lose the plot with my Hcap thoughts

40s best now for the Arkle is fair enough

Would agree with others, Mundi is a good prospect, but missed the comments re. Chelt so will need to have a listen of that and make a decision on whether he goes into the early Arkle team or not.

He gave himself no chance today with his antics pre race & for the guts of the first 2m but is 50/1 with PP a bit of an overreaction with Kitzbuhel.

He’s only a 5yr old, is still very raw and green but he kept on well even when the race was gone today. Fences could be the making of him next season.

I agree. His price must reflect that he needs to learn to settle, but he’s at the right place to learn. I also think there’s only one target for him (if proving good enough).

I also think 100/1 is an overreaction for Grangeclare West in the Gold Cup. Ran very well and would’ve been right there if not for the mistake at the last - the overhead showed him losing at least the 3 lengths he lost by at the last. Definitely one for the book, in my opinion.

Yeah that’s fair, Grangeclare West’s tendency to throw in the odd below par run is a bit frequent for my liking. I took the 33/1 about Gaelic Warrior for the Gold Cup straight after his win yesterday. His zip/fizz is completely gone this year. He looks a total diesel dour stayer now. Can see 3m2f being very doable next year. Rich Ricci must surely want a proper tilt at thr big one next year.
