Below is 7 favourites who are in everyone’s multiples and if you put them all together, it comes to a nice tasty 100/1 Accumulator.
Kopek Des Bordes earns high praise for Leopardstown win. at the Dublin Racing Festival. His performance in the Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle has left him positioned firmly at the top of the market for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle on day one of the Cheltenham Festival
Majborough cements position as Ireland’s leading Arkle hope with a ‘fantastic’ display under Mark Walsh. Majborough blasted around Leopardstown in splendid isolation to provide Willie Mullins with a fifth successive victory in the Irish Arkle. With no Sir Gino, this looks like another FAV to get behind.
Nicky Henderson’s unbeaten superstar is a ho favourite to regain the Champion Hurdle and with how delighted Nicky was with the work at Kempton, he will take all the beating. Brigtherdaysahead looks the main threat but Constitution Hill will be a firm favourite and in most multiples.
Dan Skelton has come out and said that The New Lion is the one of the best horses he’s trained and he can’t see it getting beat. So we aren’t going to argue with Dan and he has now been backed into favourite with the confidence coming from the camp. .
A triple Grade One-winning novice hurdler last season, Ballyburn made a fine start to his career over fences at Punchestown in November but was no match for a rampant Sir Gino in the Wayward Lad Novices’ Chase at Kempton over the festive period. It seems like Sir Gino might be something special and Ballyburn is actually a very very good horse and should be good enough to win this.
Jonbon too good for Energumene with convincing Clarence House win. Nicky Henderson brushed off talk of a late run at the trainers’ title after Jonbon’s convincing six-and-a-half length defeat of Energumene in the Clarence House Chase on Saturday. Jonbon seems to be better than ever this year and we think he will finally get his first victory at the Cheltenham Festival.
Galopin Des Champs is a French-bred, Irish-trained thoroughbred racehorse who competes in National Hunt racing. Trained by Willie Mullins and ridden by Paul Townend, he won the 2023 and 2024 Cheltenham Gold Cup and the 2023, 2024 and 2025 Irish Gold Cup. He is a firm favourite to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup this year and we can’t see a horse that can beat him.
