13:10 – JCB Triumph Trial Juvenile Hurdle – Admiral Will Brown
2m½f – Hurdle Turf, Grade 2, Class 1
Runners: 9 (MAX 18)
Going:
The first race of the day is the JCB Triumph Trial Juvenile Hurdle – a Grade 2 juvenile hurdle and an early-season chance for three-year-olds to establish themselves as potential Triumph Hurdle contenders.
James Owen’s Charles Darnay (7/4) and Joseph Patrick O'Brien’s Atomic City (5/2) are notable dangers, both arriving with winning hurdle form. However, it’s Patrick Magee’s Admiral Will Brown (6/1) that’s caught our attention.
He won last time out on his hurdling debut at Down Royal and has room for improvement – he could offer better value than the shorter-priced favourite.
Date | Distance | Venue | Position |
31 Oct 2026 | 2m1f | Down Royal | 1/8 |
16 Aug 2026 | 1m2f | Curragh | 4/12 |
27 Jul 2026 | 1m4½f | Galway | 9/15 |
11 Jul 2026 | 1m2f | Navan | 1/11 |

13:45 – Paddy Power Arkle Challenge Trophy Trial Novices' Chase – Kabral Du Mathan
2m – Chase Turf, Grade 2 Novice, Class 1
Runners: 7 (MAX 18)
Going: Good
Next up is the Paddy Power Arkle Challenge Trophy Trial Novices' Chase – a Grade 2 novice chase and an important early-season test for potential Arkle contenders.
The Skelton brothers are the clear in this one with Kabral Du Mathan (Evs), an established hurdler who won his chasing debut at Perth by 19 lengths. But he’s unlikely to repeat the same level of dominance in this race, and Nicky Henderson's Old Park Star (11/10) is the main danger. He’s coming off four wins a row, with Nico de Boinville gunning for a fifth.
Date | Distance | Venue | Position |
15 Oct 2026 | 2m | Perth | 1/4 |
12 Mar 2026 | 3m | Cheltenham | 4/10 |
1 Jan 2026 | 2m4½f | Cheltenham | 1/6 |
22 Nov 2025 | 2m3f | Haydock | 1/9 |

14:20 – Paddy Power Gold Cup Handicap Chase – Norn Iron
2m4f – Chase Turf, Grade 3 Handicap, Class 1
Runners: 15 (MAX 20)
Going: Good
The Paddy Power Gold Cup Handicap Chase is next on the schedule – a Premier Handicap Chase and one of the biggest betting contests of Cheltenham's November Meeting.
There’s a strong 15-runner field, featuring Meetmebythesea (3/1), Blueking d'Oroux (5/1) and Quebecois (11/2). We, however, are shooting left-field with a runner from Harry Derham’s stable - Norn Iron (12/1).
He’s had a good string of recent performances and appears to have further improvement in him – at 12/1, he’s super attractively priced.
Date | Distance | Venue | Position |
1 May 2026 | 2m4f | Punchestown | 2/22 |
7 Mar 2026 | 2m4f | Sandown | 1/3 |
31 Jan 2026 | 2m4f | Sandown | 1/5 |
1 Jan 2026 | 2m | Windsor | 3/4 |
11 Dec 2025 | 2m | Warwick | 2/9 |

14:55 – From The Horses Mouth Podcast Handicap Hurdle – Ifiwerearichman
3m – Hurdle Turf, Handicap, Class 2
Runners: 16 (MAX 20)
Going: Good
The From The Horses Mouth Podcast Handicap Hurdle is next up – a Class 2 staying handicap hurdle over 3 miles.
Paul Nolan’s Ifiwerearichman (12/1) is our pick in this one – a potentially well-handicapped runner (based on his previous chase rating) who’s shown encouraging hurdle form this season.
The competition will, however, be fierce. The Skelton brothers once again hold the early favourite with Ace Of Spades (9/2), but Gold For Alec (5/1) and Rambo T (11/2) are notable contenders, all bringing credible form into the race.
Date | Distance | Venue | Position |
26 Sep 2026 | 2m4f | Listowel | 6/14 |
1 Aug 2026 | 2m6½f | Galway | 8/20 |
4 Jul 2026 | 2m1f | Bellewstown | 6/16 |
27 May 2026 | 2m1f | Wexford | 3/7 |

15:30 – Paddy Power Intermediate Handicap Hurdle – Hillberry Hill
2m5f – Hurdle Turf, Handicap, Class 3
Runners: 13 (MAX 20)
Going: Good
The final race of the day is the Paddy Power Intermediate Handicap Hurdle, a Class 3 handicap hurdle restricted to horses rated 140 or below.
Our pick, Hillberry Hill (7/1), arrives to the ground following two consecutive victories, including an impressive seven-length success at Southwell. He makes his handicap debut off 122, but could perform much better than his opening mark suggests.
Once again, the Skelton Brothers have the early favourite in Moneygarrow (2/1), but Olly Murphy’s Daylatedollarshort (5/1) is another notable rival.
Date | Distance | Venue | Position |
24 Mar 2026 | 2m4½f | Southwell | 1/6 |
18 Jan 2026 | 2m4f | Thurles | 1/11 |
