The Cheltenham Festival takes place from Tuesday, March 10 to Friday, March 13
Last year's Gold Cup hero Inothewayurthinkin has failed to win since
Majborough now odds-on for the Queen Mother Champion Chase
The Cheltenham Festival is the most eagerly anticipated four days in the year for racing aficionados and the big event in the Cotswolds is almost upon us.
They get racing on Tuesday, March 10 with the first of four days of top class National Hunt action.
As the 2026 Cheltenham Festival looms ever larger on the horizon, we're pinpointing some of the latest market movers for the big races in the Cotswolds next week with all 28 races now available on LiveScore Bet alongside the latest Cheltenham free bets offers.
Gold Cup kingpin proving popular
Inothewayurthinkin won the Gold Cup in tremendous style last March but Gavin Cromwell's star has been bitterly disappointing in three starts since.
He was thumped a combined tally of 94-lengths in the John Durkan and the Savills Chase and then fell when labouring in the Irish Gold Cup at the Dublin Racing Festival last month.
His trainer has reported him to be showing positives at home now, however, and after being as big as 18/1 in recent weeks, Inothewayurthinkin has tumbled to 7/1 with LiveScore Bet for his Gold Cup defence.
"I'm much happier with him now. That said, I think a few people might be losing the run of themselves with the way his price is shortening up," Cromwell told the Racing Post.
"He's starting to look a lot better in his coat and we are more optimistic than we were a couple of weeks ago, that is for sure. It's still a big ask."

Mighty Park tightens for Supreme challenge
The Willie Mullins-trained Mighty Park has come in for support for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle and is now 4/1 second-favourite with LiveScore Bet behind Old Park Star.
The Walk In The Park gelding was a 38-length winner on his stable debut at Fairyhouse in January, dispatching stablemate Roc Dino in impressive fashion.
That form is solid and while he holds an entry in the Turners Novices' Hurdle over 2m5f, the latest market vibes suggest Mighty Park could attempt to become Mullins' ninth Supreme winner.
Also shortening in the curtain-raiser on Tuesday is Talk The Talk, now into 9/2 with LiveScore Bet, after trainer Joseph O'Brien suggested this is his likely target over the Turners.

Majborough odds-on for Champion Chase
The Queen Mother Champion Chase market received a major shake-up on Tuesday morning as Barry Connell revealed a sore neck would deny Marine Nationale the opportunity to defend his crown on day two.
That leaves impressive Dublin Racing Festival winner Majborough as the 8/11 favourite with LiveScore Bet for the two-miler.
At this remove, Majborough is the only odds-on jolly across Cheltenham's 28 races, though last year's Champion Bumper winner Bambino Fever is trending in that direction for the Ryanair Mares' Novices' Hurdle, a contest she is 11/10 with LiveScore Bet to win.
There is much confidence she can reverse early season form with Oldschool Outlaw and she could be one of the best-back horses of the entire meeting.
