Can we make it 16 from the last 18 Cheltenham Festivals in profit?
I will start of by saying that this Friday (9th January) will be the start of the Cheltenham Festival Ante Post which will be included within the Cheltenham Festival 2026 Package. We will continue any Ante Post Bets as and when we see fit but to ensure you don’t miss anything and due to how popular we are when it comes to the Cheltenham Festival, get yourself signed up now to avoid missing any prices.
If you are planning on joining us for the biggest 4 days of the calendar year, make sure you are involved from the start as we have some top class bets lined up.
Each Thursday after leading up to the Cheltenham Festival, we will be releasing early bets and then of course each night before the Cheltenham Festival itself.
THE GREATEST SHOW ON TURF is just around the corner which means JPW Racing Tipster are ready and raring to go. The excitement is building and the adrenaline is flowing ready to make it another unbelievable Cheltenham Festival. We are aiming to make it 16 years from 18 in profit of profit. Every year we hit a big one, whether that be a 50/1 winner, 25/1 winner, 20/1 winner, the list is endless and you can see the write ups below from previous festivals.
I cannot wait for the 2026 Cheltenham Festival to get going and you won’t find a tipster in the whole country with a record like ours when it comes to Cheltenham Festival. We have been doing it a very long time and when it comes to the Cheltenham Festival, we are to go to place given the amount of work that goes into each and every tip, and our excellent record of 16 from 18 festivals in profit. That is nearly two whole decades, name another tipster with longevity like ours?
Put simply the Cheltenham Festival is my time to shine, when the pressure is on, JPW always delivers on the big stage and this year will be no different. I am an absolute Cheltenham Festival fanatic and I know every inch of the course. The course is 5 minutes from my house and it is where I walk my dog daily, covering the same undulations, day in day out.
What can you expect from the Cheltenham Festival Special 2026?
We can’t give any guarantees that we are going to make profit in the 2026 Cheltenham Festival but we do have an amazing record which is probably the best in the industry over nearly two decades. We are as confident as ever, going into a Festival that we know is our stomping ground.
We are as honest and trustworthy as they come and customers are at the forefront of everything we do.
By joining JPW Racing Tipster, you will know that all tips are fully researched and come with a full write up for every tip.
We give a very in depth analysis for every race we tip in, accompanied by a selection. The write ups show the massive amount of work that goes in and exactly how thorough we are, in the work we produce, keeping it professional from start to finish.
The winning write ups from our last couple of festivals
THE JUKEBOX MAN 7/1 WINNER – KING GEORGE CHASE
What a race we have in store so many angles can be taken, the thought process can run wild but it is a race I have been thinking about for a while.
We will start off with the Willie Mullins pair, Gaelic Warrior and Fact To File. What a race they contested in the John Durkan at Punchestown last month. The pair were miles clear of the field and they had to really dig deep and battle it out at the end of the race. In my opinion they both went deep into the petrol tank and although they are both superstar horses, that cannot be ideal preparation for this race. Of course they have the ability to win this race and I would not be surprised to see either win, but to battle that hard on your first start of the season is not doing either horse any favours.
I also think Gaelic Warrior will have to settle better here, he can’t go off like he did at Punchestown and get home over 3 miles. The John Durkan was over 2m 3f and although he battled at the end, he won’t have anything left at the end of the race over 3 miles, if he goes off as keen as he did.
Fact To File also didn’t stay the race like a 3 miler, does he quite get a strong run 3 mile race or is he your perfect Ryanair horse? Those are my thoughts on the Willie Mullins pair and the reasons why I will be taking them on….
Jango Baie, to be honest I am a fan of the horse, I can see him winning, I think he jumps well, he stays, he likes going right handed but the price is a tad short and when the thought process is done, I would rather have two each way bets over the one bet on Jago Baie….
Last year’s winner, Banbridge has to be respected and the ground is coming good for him but he has not looked the same since winning this race last year.
Djelo won well in the Peterborough Chase and could be a dark horse but when chucked in the deep end at this level, he has been found out in the past.
Master Chewy surely cannot win this race and at 150/1 odds would be the biggest shock of the century.
THE JUKEBOX MAN is 3 from 3 over fences, he won the Kauto Star Novice Chase last season at the course and clearly loves it around the course. He missed the rest of last season but returned at Haydock in November and jumped like a stag, beating Iroko who has since franked the form.
He also did not have a hard race and given he had been off the track for 331 days, he will come on massively for the race.
As mentioned above, he has also only had 3 chase starts in his career yet he jumps like he has been around doing it for a long long time. I just think he has so much more to come, especially when stepped up in trip in the King George.
He stays, he jumps, he loves Kempton, he travels, he quickens, he has it all and for me at this early stage is a great bet after what we saw on his first start of the season, in second gear. He has a lot of improvement to come and the one thing we know with THE JUKEBOX MAN is he stays so well. You can go through the field and they are all 2m 4f – 3m horses, this is a horse who absolutely excels over this trip. There is so much pace in the race it is going to really suit and I think he is a smashing bet at the price. E/W.
PANIC ATTACK 16/1 WINNER – CORAL GOLD CUP
I can’t leave out our Paddy Power Gold Cup horse either in PANIC ATTACK. She would have progressed again from that run and although the 2 week turnaround is not ideal, I don’t think she had a hard race in the Paddy Power Gold Cup, winning comfortably in the end.
Leading up to that race Dan Skelton said he wanted to get a run into her but the ground has not let him, yet she still went out and won comfortably. That is why I think she will progress here and I don’t think the trip will bother her either, as early in her career when trained by Martin Pipe, she was campaigned as a 3 miler.
She gets into this race with a 4lb penalty but her rating has gone up 7lb for her win in the Paddy Power Gold Cup. Before the race starts, according to ratings she is already 3lb well in. We then take in the claim of Tristan Durrell with 3lb it takes her mark down a further 3lb to 136. She won the Paddy Power Gold Cup off a mark of 135 so she is only 1lb higher here. She could be thrown in.
The only reason Harry Skelton is not riding is because he is at Newcastle riding The New Lion. If he was on board, mark my word, she would not be a 16/1/14/1 shot, that is for sure.
She is clearly in the form of her life since she started training with Dan Skelton and he is having some start to this season.
With 10st 5lb on her back, she has a serious chance of landing the double in my opinion. E/W.
BOOSTER BOB 11/2 WINNER – NEWBURY WINTER FESTIVAL
I advise anyone to go back and watch the last race of BOOSTER BOB. You will never see a better ride again from Sean Bowen. The horse was absolutely tailed off 30 lengths off the leaders with two fences to jump. He flew home like an aeroplane to win the race and it was a remarkable ride.
He beat Vincenzo and Saint Segal that day and Vincenzo went on to finish 2nd in the Paddy Power Gold Cup, two weeks ago, going off favourite. That form took a right boost and even with Saint Segal who went on to win two races and was 2nd in the Haldon Gold Cup.
BOOSTER BOB couldn’t go the pace early on on his final start of last season but stayed on like he wanted 3 miles, which he gets today.
The win came at this course so he clearly likes it around here and I imagine this has been the plan for sometime.
It has left me thinking how much this horse has up his sleeve as he can be put to sleep at the back of the field and know he is going to come home for you.
He is rated 132 but on the evidence of Vincenzo and Saint Segal, who he beat, BOOSTER BOB could have a good few pounds in hand.
Olly Murphy has always spoken highly of this horse and Sean Bowen clearly gets the right tune out of the horse.
He is only a 7 year old, the headgear is removed and over this trip I am hopeful we will see an even better BOOSTER BOB this season. E/W
NO DRAMA THIS END 5/1 WINNER – CHELTENHAM NOVEMBER FESTIVAL
It is time to get on our 4th Cheltenham bet before the price is gone on NO DRAMA THIS END. An absolute mud lover yet the bookies are dangling us 5/1 on his hurdles debut. He is no more than a 5/2 shot in my book so at 5/1 on this ground, he offers massive value.
NO DRAMA THIS END is highly regarded by Paul Nicholls and made a winning debut in a bumper at Warwick at the end of last season, beating a very highly regarded Dan Skelton horse, Keopos Des Bordes, in rain softened ground.
He was then sent to Cheltenham for the Champion Bumper and prior to the race Nicholls said if it was soft, he would possibly consider it.
It wasn’t soft ground but good to soft but NO DRAMA THIS END still ran in the race coming home 9th of 17.
He was purchased out of the point to point scene for £160. following a 23 length success on soft ground. That means jumping is going to bring the best out of him and a step up in trip which he gets today. He is up to 2m 5f, making his debut over hurdles with Harry Cobden in the saddle. I think he will really excel especially with all the rain forecast Friday which will no doubt make the going heavy. How they are still saying the ground is good to soft is beyond me. I live 1 mile away from the course and it has not stopped raining with further rain to come. I am quietly confident and as long as he takes to his hurdles as I expect, he has to be bang there. We will cover him each way just in case he bumps into a good one.
PANIC ATTACK 12/1 WINNER – PADDY POWER GOLD CUP
I love this race for many reasons. It is the first big handicap of the season, it is as competitive as they come and we also have a great record in the race.
Many of you will remember, it is the race we had Ga Law a few seasons back to win £308k for the Paddy Power Gold Cup.
We have also found Baron Alco, Happy Diva and Al Ferof over the last 15 years, making big profits in the race to SP with those 4 winners.
Early entries show Protektorat as top weight. He ran in the race last year off a mark of 167, so unless he goes for the Betfair Chase the following week and given he missed the Charlie Hall Chase because of the ground, I really think he will run in this race. He is also trained by Dan Skelton, the same as our selection and by running Protektorat, it will mean PANIC ATTACK will have just 10st on her back.
Currently the strong favourite is Jagwar but is plenty short enough off a handicap mark of 148. He won at Cheltenham in March off 139 but a 9lb hike in the handicap is going to make things a lot harder, that is for sure.
IL Ridotto is back to regain his crown and I can make a strong case for him. Like last year when I thought he was dangerous, I can see him running another huge race and maybe if he drifts to 6/1 on the day, I may have a side bet, but at the current price I just can’t back him. He could and should go very close given his record in the race so I would not talk anyone off him.
Vincenzo has been supported in recent days and that will be mainly down to the form of Sam Thomas who can get one right for the day. I just don’t think he is good enough and a little short on what he has achieved.
Coming Up Easy is over from Ireland and you have to respect any Henry De Bromhead horse. The bottomline is the Irish have a terrible record in this race and the last winner of the race from Ireland was Tranquil Sea in 2009. I can’t think of another winner before that. Even so, off a mark of 142, it won’t be easy for the horse.
That brings me on to PANIC ATTACK who is trained by Dan Skelton. She has been targeted at this race for some time, since winning at Windsor in January in fact. She won so well that day off a handicap mark of 125 and the pat on her back by Harry Skelton, when eased down, told you just how well she won the race.
This is a plot if seen one, one in at top weight and one in at bottom weight.
Just to give everyone a reminder, today we just saw what Dan Skelton did with a bottomweight horse in the Haldon Gold Cup. Thistle Ask jumped them into submission and used his very lightweight to his advantage.
12/1 about PANIC ATTACK who has only had 4 runs for Skelton, he has yet to get to the bottom of this horse with his training regime and over fences, I think he can get so much more improvement out of the horse. E/W.
