13.20: The JCB Triumph Hurdle (Grade 1)

East India Dock currently leads the charge with the bookmakers but it’s worth keeping an eye on Lulamba who will be right on his tail from start to finish.

14.00: The William Hill County Handicap Hurdle Race (Premier Handicap)

This one is wide open and while a lot of people fancy Kargese, Lark In The Mornin and Absurde are amongst the runners who will be expected to do well.

Dinoblue is the clear favourite to give Willie Mullins yet another Cheltenham triumph but Brides Hill will believe they can put the cat among the pigeons.

15.20: The Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle Race (Grade 1)

Wendigo, Jet Blue and Wingmen are all in with a real shot in a field full of talent - however, the horse everyone is talking about in this one is The Big Westerner.

16.00: The Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup Steeple Chase (Grade 1)

It’s the big one that everyone will be there to see on Friday as Galopin Des Champs attempts to make history by winning the Gold Cup for a third straight year.

16.40: The St. James’s Place Festival Hunters Chase

Angels Dawn is favoured for redemption after falling at Cheltenham last year with Willitgoahead also being tipped to find success here.

17.20: Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle (0-145)

In the final race of the festival, Willie Mullins will try and finish things off in style as Kopeck De Mee aims to extend his three-race win streak.

bet365 Types of Bet for Cheltenham 2025

The betting markets that you’ll see during the Cheltenham Festival 2025 are very similar to those that are available across the entire horse racing calendar. Check out the latest odds, runners and riders by clicking the button below:

Multiples

In a multiples bet, you’ll have two or three selections for different races that make up one single bet. However, if just one of them loses, the entire bet will be lost.

Accumulators

An accumulator has a very similar premise to multiples but requires at least four selections, increasing the odds of some really appealing payouts.

Odds Boost

Whereas some other bookmakers may be offering a horse at a lower price, an odds boost gives you the chance to earn even more money from your chosen pick, often much closer to the time of the race.

Non-Runner No Bet

The non-runner no bet promotion will allow players the chance to be refunded if their selected horse does not run in the actual race - whether it be a normal win bet or an each way.

bet365 Cheltenham Super Boosts

During the week, bet365 will be offering daily Super Boosts. They will be available from 10am and will be displayed at the top of the bet365 homepage and within the race coupon.

When checking the odds, look out for the yellow arrow which will indicate the boosted price alongside original price which will be crossed out. You can find the Super Boosts by clicking the button below:

18+. Super Boosts are only available to new and eligible customers. Max stake applies, singles only, subject to availability.
