| 1st | Kopek Des Bordes | 4/6F |
| 2nd | William Munny | 8/1 |
| 3rd | Romeo Coolio | 9/2 |
Race Results Summary:
The nightmare for bookies was very much on immediately, as Kopek Des Bordes belied keenness and some skewiff jumping to hold off the game challenge of William Munny. Romeo Coolio took over the lead earlier than expected, but held on for third.
The Arkle Chase – Results
| POS | HORSE | PRICE |
| 1st | Jango Baie | 5/1 |
| 2nd | Only By Night | 25/1 |
Race Results Summary:
An extraordinary contest in the Arkle. Nicky Henderson was without Sir Gino, but Jango Baie, who looked to be tailed off with three to jump, came from the clouds to end “The Bloodbath” accumulator. Favourite backers were left cursing two huge mistakes by Majborough up the straight, as the odds-on shot was even pecked out of second by rank outsider Only By Night.
The Ultima Handicap Chase – Results
| POS | HORSE | PRICE |
| 1st | Myretown | 13/2F |
| 2nd | The Changing Man | 7/1 |
| 3rd | Malina Girl | 14/1 |
| 4th | Happygolucky | 28/1 |
| 5th | The Short Go | 11/1 |
Race Results Summary:
Lucinda Russell loves this race, having won it twice with Grand National winner Corach Rambler, and did so again emphatically with the front-running Myretown, who landed a big gamble in the process. The Changing Man finished second yet again in his career, while the places down to fifth, as most bookies were paying, were filled by Malina Girl, Happygolucky and The Short Go.
The Mares’ Hurdle – Results
| POS | HORSE | PRICE |
| 1st | Lossiemouth | 4/6F |
| 2nd | Jade De Grugy | 5/1 |
| 3rd | Take No Chances | 22/1 |
Race Results Summary:
Recovering from her crunching fall at Leopardstown, Lossiemouth made no mistake to win the Mares’ Hurdle just as impressively as she had done in 2024. Stablemate Jade De Grugy led most of the way and was a clear second, while Take No Chances ran on for third for the Skeltons.
The Champion Hurdle – Results

| 1st | Golden Ace | 25/1 |
| 2nd | Burdett Road | 66/1 |
| 3rd | Winter Fog | 150/1 |
Race Results Summary:
The turn up of all turn ups. Brighterdaysahead sulked again at Cheltenham, while Constitution Hill and State Man fell, the latter at the last with the race in the bag, in the most dramatic Champion Hurdle potentially of all time. Golden Ace inherited the race, winning at her second successive Cheltenham Festival, justifying the bold decision of connections to run her, as Burdett Road and Winter Fog ended up in the places. Who had the tricast?

Race Results Summary:
Well-supported from a long stage and always prominent, Haiti Couleurs was a confidently-ridden winner of the last on day one. Rock My Way ran a big race in second, followed home by Irish raiders Will Do and Duffle Coat, as the Prestbury Cup stood at 4-3 to Britain after Tuesday.

| 2nd | Stellar Story | 22/1 |
| 3rd | Better Days Ahead | 13/2 |

| 2nd | Impose Toi | 13/2 |

| 1st | Stumptown | 5/2F |
| 2nd | Latenightpass | 11/1 |
| 3rd | Vanillier | 15/2 |
| 4th | The Goffer | 6/1 |
Race Results Summary:
Specialism in the Cross Country Chase proved ever so important again as top-weight Stumptown overcame some flat spots to ultimately pull well clear. Latenightpass faded late on in second, while third-placed Vanillier nearly ran out early in the race before incredibly staying on for third ahead of The Goffer in fourth.
The Queen Mother Champion Chase – Results
| POS | HORSE | PRICE |
| 1st | Marine Nationale | 5/1 |
| 2nd | Jonbon | 5/6 |
| 3rd | Captain Guinness | 25/1 |
Race Results Summary:
The most poignant winner of the week returned with Michael O’Sullivan smiling down from the heavens on Marine Nationale, who tanked through the race and was presented with an unmissable chance.

Last year’s winner Captain Guinness picked his form back up in third.
Grand Annual Chase – Results

| 5th | Jasko Des Dames | 22/1 |

It was a case of Mullins and Townend again, but this time it was Jody aboard as Bambino Fever followed up her Leopardstown win at Cheltenham. It was a 14th win in the race for Willie Mullins.

| 3rd | Diva Luna | 12/1 |
| 4th | Karoline Banbou | 10/1 |

| 2nd | Anyway | 125/1 |
| 3rd | O’Moore Park | 66/1 |
| 4th | Nurburgring | TBC |
Race Results Summary:

He led virtually from the outset and beat the two rank outsiders, 150/1 shot Anyway in second and 66/1 shot, O’Moore Park, in third. Ante-post favourite Nurburgring stayed on for fourth.

| 3rd | Catch Him Derry | 14/1 |
| 4th | Feet Of A Dancer | 15/2 |
| 5th | One Big Bang | 14/1 |
Race Results Summary:
Nicky Henderson gained some compensation for some disappointments earlier in the week as Doddiethegreat, ridden by former Champion Jockey Brian Hughes, led home more-fancied stablemate Jeriko Du Reponet up the hill. Catch Him Derry was third for Dan Skelton, with Feet Of A Dancer the best of the Irish in fourth, and One Big Bang in fifth.
Ryanair Chase – Results

| 1st | Fact To File | 6/4F |
| 2nd | Heart Wood | 18/1 |
| 3rd | Envoi Allen | 12/1 |
Race Results Summary:
A few favourites have failed to deliver this week, but Fact To File strutted is stuff in some style in the Ryanair Chase. The favourite fairly bolted in, beating the Henry De Bromhead pair of Heart Wood and Envoi Allen, although both were in the distant background.
Stayers’ Hurdle – Results
| POS | HORSE | PRICE |
| 1st | Bob Olinger | 8/1 |
| 2nd | Teahupoo | 7/4F |
| 3rd | The Wallpark | 7/1 |
Race Results Summary:
Bob Olinger sensationally continued his unbeaten record at Cheltenham as Rachael Blackmore rode her second winner of the day with a superb, patient guide. Teahupoo, in the same ownership, was second defending his title, with his stablemate The Wallpark in third as Gordon Elliott’s luckless run went on.
Plate Handicap Chase – Results
| POS | HORSE | PRICE |
| 1st | Jagwar | 3/1F |

| 3rd | Masaccio | 11/1 |
| 4th | Mars Harper | 100/1 |
| 5th | Riaan | 9/1 |
Race Results Summary:
He may have been a short price, but Jagwar justified that favouritism by outgunning second favourite Thecompanysergeant. The grey Masaccio was a game third ahead of a Gordon Elliott-trained outsider in Mars Harper and Joseph O’Brien’s Jordans.
Kim Muir Handicap Chase – Results
| POS | HORSE | PRICE |
| 1st | Daily Present | 12/1 |
| 2nd | Johnnywho | 9/2F |
| 3rd | Sa Majeste | 8/1 |
| 4th | Weveallbeencaught | 28/1 |
| 5th | Manothepeople | 40/1 |
Race Results Summary:
In scenes reminiscent of 12 months ago, Derek O’Connor came there cantering in the McManus green and gold. However, this Festival has provided so many twists and there was a sour one for favourite backers as Johnnywho was overhauled by the fast-finishing Daily Present, who arrived late on the scene. Fellow McManus runner Sa Majeste was third for Willie and Patrick Mullins, with Weveallbeencaught in fourth, and Manothepeople in fifth.

| 3rd | East India Dock | 11/8F |
| 4th | Lady Vega Allen | 14/1 |
Race Summary:
The first 100/1 winner at the Cheltenham Festival for 35 years. Hurdles debutant Poniros, a talented flat horse, gunned down the two British-trained favourites, Lulamba and East India Dock, right in front of the line for an enormous shock for Willie Mullins. Long-time leader Lady Vega Allen faded to fourth.

Mrs Paddy Power Mares’ Chase – Results

| 1st | Dinoblue | 6/4F |
| 2nd | Brides Hill | 9/2 |
| 3rd | Shecouldbeanything | 12/1 |
Race Summary:
The favourites continued their bounce back in the third. Dinoblue was second last season, but made no mistake this year, looking in control even when stablemate Allegorie De Vassy came down at the last. Brides Hill inherited second place for Gavin Cromwell, with the novice Shecouldbeanything in third.

| 1st | Jasmin De Vaux | 6/1 |

Cheltenham Gold Cup – Results
| POS | HORSE | PRICE |
| 1st | Inothewayurthinkin | 15/2 |
| 2nd | Galopin Des Champs | 8/13F |
| 3rd | Gentlemansgame | 40/1 |
Race Summary:
The hat-trick in the Gold Cup was foiled as Inothewayurthinkin, supplemented for the race for £20,000, galloped on too relentlessly for two-time champion Galopin Des Champs, who was only second. Gentlemansgame ran a huge race in third from the front.
Hunter Chase – Results
| POS | HORSE | PRICE |
| 1st | Wonderwall | 28/1 |
| 2nd | Its On The Line | 4/1 |
| 3rd | Willitgoahead | 13/2 |
| 4th | Music Drive | 33/1 |
| 5th | Shearer | 6/1 |

| 2nd | Act Of Authority | 28/1 |
| 3rd | Raglan Road | 25/1 |
| 4th | Taponthego | 8/1 |
Race Summary:
Gordon Elliott finally landed a winner and some winner it was. The mare Wodhooh had the collateral form in the book, but still produced a scintillating performance to fly clear of her rivals in the closing stages. Act Of Authority came out of the pack in second, while JP McManus’s best runner proved to be outsider Raglan Road as Kopeck De Mee proved a hugely disappointing favourite. Taponthego was fourth.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Day 1 Cheltenham Festival Meeting Details
The action begins on day one of the 2025 Cheltenham Festival with the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle, a fast and furious curtain raiser that often sees a select field of the best 2m novice hurdlers either side of the Irish Sea do battle. A look back at the Cheltenham Festival results from previous Supreme Novices’ Hurdles will see the race being run on a variety of ground conditions, matching whatever the weather brought that year. In general, however, a blend of good to soft ground is more often than not produced for the Festival opener, and this looks the likely combination – at least for the beginning of the meeting – when predicting the Cheltenham race results in 2025.
Day one of the Cheltenham Festival is run on the ‘Old’ track, generally considered to be the easier of the two tracks, this often favours speedier types and this is best showcased in races such as the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle and Champion Hurdle, a trend that will undoubtedly continue throughout the Cheltenham 2025 race results.
With this in mind, it is often difficult to make up significant ground from the back of the field at this track, unless the pace is ferocious and collapses late.
The pace angle looks particularly pertinent in races such as the Arkle Novices’ Chase, where it can often pay to side with horses that race on the front end, and even in stamina sapping contests like the National Hunt Chase, horses ridden too cold can find themselves with plenty to do.
Day 2 Cheltenham Festival Meeting Details
Day two of the Cheltenham Festival begins with the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle, a 2m 5f contest that often attracts a stellar field, with the likes of Impaire Et Passe, Envoi Allen and Sir Gerhard all names that feature amongst the recent Cheltenham results.
The final day’s racing run on the Old course, the previous day’s action can chew the ground up somewhat, so rail replacements and ground changes are something to keep in mind. With distances on day two by in large greater than those of day one, however, stamina tends to come to the fore.
The second race that features on the 2025 day two Cheltenham Festival results is the Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase. This extended 3m contest provides a stern examination of jumping for novice chasers, with 20 fences needing to be successfully navigated. The race has produced some thrilling finishes down the years, with the enigmatic Might Bite’s 2017 victory one of the more memorable Cheltenham Festival results in recent years.
Whilst the first three 2025 Cheltenham Festival race results on day two will show contests run over 2m 5f or further, we drop back to the minimum 2m distance for the Queen Mother Champion Chase, the feature contest on day 2.
Regular Cheltenham Festival racegoers will remember the 2008 Festival, where the Wednesday fixture was cancelled due to high winds. This led to the scheduled Wednesday races being accommodated on the Thursday and Friday cards, resulting in a ten-race Thursday card and a nine-race card for Cheltenham Gold Cup day, something to bear in mind for anyone assessing historic Cheltenham Festival results.
Day 3 Cheltenham Festival Meeting Details
Racing at Cheltenham switches to their ‘New’ track from Thursday, with the first race of the day being the Turners Novices’ Chase, a 2m 4f Grade 1.
With this being the first day’s racing on the New course, the ground is fresh and therefore ground conditions tend to be slightly better than Wednesday, which was run on the already raced upon Old course.
The New course is considered a more demanding course than the Old, this is due to the steep incline to the top of the hill which tests the stamina of horses, particularly in races such as the Kim Muir Handicap Chase, which closes the card.
There are not one, but two feature races on the day three card, namely the Ryanair Chase and the Stayers’ Hurdle. Formerly given Grade 2 classification, the Ryanair Chase has become extremely popular with trainers, owners, and punters since its inception back in 2005, so much so that it now shares top billing with the Stayers’ Hurdle.
Day three of the Cheltenham Festival is also referred to as St Patrick’s Thursday, and in the spirit of the celebration, Irish trainers feature prominently in the recent Cheltenham Festival results, with just one of the last five Ryanair Chases going to a British-based horse. It will be interesting to see whether the Irish continue their Thursday domination when looking back at the 2025 Cheltenham race results.
Day 4 Cheltenham Festival Meeting Details
The final day of the Cheltenham Festival 2025 is headlined by the Cheltenham Gold Cup, arguably the most sought after prize in the racing calendar.
The Gold Cup has been won by the likes of Arkle, Best Mate and Kauto Star down the years, and its 22 fences over the demanding New course makes the race notoriously gruelling, especially when the ground is riding soft.
A quick glance at who bookmakers feel could potentially be filling the 1-2-3 in the 2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup results will note that Irish horses dominate, with five of the top six horses in the betting currently trained in Ireland. The market is headed by Willie Mullins’ defending champion Galopin Des Champs, who bolted up at Leopardstown over Christmas and looks a deserved favourite.
This marries up with recent Cheltenham Gold Cup results, with the Irish completing a 1-2-3 in 2021 and the last Gold Cup going to Great Britain with Native River in 2018.
There have been many exciting Gold Cup finishes down the years and the ground has played a huge part in the recent results, with Lord Windermere bouncing off an unseasonably quick surface to score in 2014, and four years later, proven mudlark Native River appreciating a gluey surface when landing his Gold Cup.
It is not only the Gold Cup that catches the eye on day four of the Cheltenham Festival, however, with the Triumph Hurdle opening the card.
The addition of the Boodles Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle has helped to make the Triumph a far more competitive race, and having been a 20+ runner cavalry charge for many years, there are now far fewer entrants.
Even though the Triumph Hurdle is contested over 2m1f, it is run on the New course and therefore provides a stern stamina examination for juveniles. A recent look back at the Cheltenham results in previous Triumph Hurdles will see a large proportion of the win and placed horses subsequently becoming staying types later in their careers, this is probably best showcased by the legendary Tiger Roll, who won the 2014 Triumph Hurdle and went on to land two Grand Nationals.
The Triumph Hurdle can produce a dramatic finish, as backers of Goshen will no doubt attest to having seen the gelding throw away a 10l lead at the last hurdle when making an error and ultimately unshipping his rider Jamie Moore.
