The November Meeting – Preview and Predictions

Racing’s ultimate weekender is here — The November Meeting! Three days of unmissable Cheltenham action where the atmosphere crackles and Festival-bound stars take centre stage.

We kick things off with Countryside Day, a celebration of rural life, tradition, and top-class sport. Then comes Super Saturday, where the energy peaks both on and off the track, before wrapping up with Carnival Sunday, a family-friendly finale filled with community spirit and entertainment.

Day 1 – Countryside Day

Gates Open: 10:30am
Raceday Preview: 12:25 – 12:55 (Live in the Parade Ring)
First Race: 1:10pm
Feature Race – The Cheltenham Chase: 2:55pm
Last Race: 4:00pm

A true celebration of the countryside, with rural traditions, local displays, and thrilling racing to start the weekend in style.

13:10 – Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle

Tough conditions expected but this lightly raced, well-prepped runner fits the race well. No fitness concerns, well-weighted, and handles the ground.

OUR PICK

As Legends Have It

13:45 – Middle Distance Veterans Chase Series

Veterans Handicap. Many familiar older horses but Fugitif stands out if near his best. Handles the ground, has strong form, and looks the one to beat.

OUR PICK

Fugitif

14:20 – Novices’ Chase

Long-distance novice chase. Several dangers, but Double Powerful’s promising seasonal debut and experience over fences suggest major improvement and a strong chance.

OUR PICK

Double Powerful

14:55 – The Cheltenham Chase

Class act of the race. If Jonbon returns in top form, he should dominate. Has won this race the last two years; lighter campaign may have him primed again.

OUR PICK

Jonbon

15:30 – The Hyde Novices Hurdle

Still improving and suited by a stamina test. Trainer develops these types well. Expected to progress again and be hard to beat.

OUR PICK

No Drama This End

16:00 – Novices’ Handicap Hurdle Race

Handles soft ground well; fewer rivals proven in bad conditions. Reliable profile and strong pick if it turns testing.

OUR PICK

Shade Of Winter
