The Cheltenham day 4 race card features the race that punters have been waiting the entire National Hunt season to see. That is, of course, the Blue Riband race that is the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
That’s the richest, most prestigious race of its kind in Britain, and it attracts the elite of the NH scene to try and join famous past winners like Best Mate, Arkle, Kauto Star and Denman.
Last year’s winner was A Plus Tard, who will make a bold attempt at a title defence in this year’s renewal. He got home first to give trainer Henry de Bromhead his second successive win in the Blue Riband event.
Galopin Des Champs currently heads the betting and will be popular with lots of punters, as he has decisively won every race since agonisingly falling when clear at the Festival last year. But will he get the better of last year’s winner A Plus Tard?
Among other Cheltenham Festival entries for the Gold Cup 2023, there is 2021 winner Minella Indo, who could only finish second in last year’s renewal.
But there is a potentially new Gold Cup kid on the block, and that is Noble Yeats, who won impressively at Aintree earlier in the season. He could only finish third in the Cotswold Chase, but stayed on strongly that day and will give the Brits a strong contender in this year’s renewal.
There’s also King George VI Chase winner Bravemansgame, whose trainer Paul Nicholls has described as “his best Gold Cup hope since Denman”. It’s all setting up to be one of the races of the year!
There is no race quite like the Cheltenham Gold Cup. Nothing attracts the level of attention that it does, and it’s the top fixture not only for punters to make a correct call on but for jockeys and trainers alike.
Even though it is only one of seven fixtures on Cheltenham racecards today, it will take centre stage without fail. So what drama will unfold at this year’s renewal? Who will be the hero of the day?
Other Grade 1 races on Friday at the Festival are the opening fixture of Friday, the Triumph Hurdle and the Albert Bartlett Novices’.

Thursday enjoys a St Patrick’s Day of racing at the Cheltenham Festival, and the Irish contenders will be hoping to enjoy that extra spark of energy. Then, the Cheltenham Day 3 race card moves over to the New Course to kick off the Festival’s second half.
There are three Grade 1 races on the day, and the top race on the schedule is the Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle. But, looking at the Cheltenham Festival 2023 racecards, Thursday could produce some real highlights.
There have been early entries from Teahupoo, Home By The Lee, Blazing Khal and last year’s winner Flooring Porter in the Stayers’ Hurdle. In this test of stamina and speed, each of those Cheltenham runners would bring some strong claims to the contest.
Along with the Stayers’ Hurdle, among the other Cheltenham Festival races for today is the Ryanair, and the day starts with the Turners Novices’ which is the other Grade 1 fixture of the day.

The Cheltenham Day 2 race card celebrates Ladies Day at the Festival with another round of top tier fixtures coming thick and fast. Just as on the Cheltenham Day 1 race card, four Grade 1 fixtures are coming up on Wednesday.
The Queen Mother Champion Chase, the most prestigious and richly rewarded two-mile chase that there is, is the big headline fixture of Wednesday’s action. It’s a big one on the National Hunt calendar, and naturally, there is a strong field heading into it.
Among this year’s horses running at the Cheltenham Festival in the Queen Mother Champion Chase, there is last year’s winner of the race Energumene and last year’s Arkle winner Edwardstone.
Punters may not see the need to go much further down the field than that. Those are the top two 2-mile chasers in the business, and it should be a thrilling renewal again this year.
Energumene ran out a game winner of the race last year, with his cause helped by the poor performance from main market rival Shishkin. Nevertheless, it was a dominant effort from Willie Mullins’ star, and he ran out a deserved winner.
The Queen Mother is something special to look forward to. However, it could well have some extra spice to it this year, with both Energumene and Edwardstone failing to get past Editeur Du Gite in the Clarence House Chase recently.

National Hunt Challenge Cup Novices’ Chase |
|
Gaillard Du Mesnil | Place Bet |
The Cheltenham Day 1 race card is loaded because four of the seven races are Grade 1 fixtures. That’s a tremendous day of racing in anyone’s books. Day 1 at the Festival is Champions Day because we get to look at a top race.
The headline fixture on the Cheltenham Day 1 race card is the Unibet Champion Hurdle Challenge Trophy, which starts at 3.30 pm.
Among the Cheltenham Festival entries for that Grade 1 is last year’s Supreme Novices’ Hurdle winner Constitution Hill, with potentially the main significant challenge coming from Willie Mullins’ State Man. However, the Irish raider will have to be something special to get past Nicky Henderson’s unbeaten superstar.
The day starts with the thrill ride of the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle, quickly followed by the Arkle and the Ultima.
It’s one of the most incredible days of racing on the National Hunt calendar, and punters will be keen to make a winning start to proceedings as well.

Changes to this year’s Cheltenham Festival races schedule
The Cheltenham Festival racecards are not set in stone, and things get chopped and changed around. New races are coming along, and fixtures get moved. However, the line-up of races for each of the days at the 2023 Festival remains the same as it was in 2021.
While the order of races has not changed, each day’s start times are different from last year. Here are the time slots for each day:
- Race 1 – 1.30 pm
- Race 2 – 2.10 pm
- Race 3 – 2.45 pm
- Race 4 – 3.30 pm

There were changes to the 2021 Cheltenham racecards, with the Boodles Handicap Hurdle being moved to Day 1 from its usual Wednesday spot. It replaced the Novices’ Handicap Chase, which was scrapped from the entire Festival.
The Grand Annual made the most significant move from being the penultimate race of the entire Festival. It was bumped up to the Cheltenham Day 2 racecard to replace the Boodles Juvenile hurdle, meaning it also moved from the New Course to the Old Course.
Taking the slot of the Grand Annual Chase, then on the Cheltenham day, 4 race card was the new Liberthine Mares (the Mrs Paddy Power Chase). But again, for this year’s Festival, it is all as you were in 2021.
