Cheltenham Festival 2025 Odds: Our Lucky 15 For Day 4

We have reached the final day of the 2025 Cheltenham Festival and what a week it has been so far as we have truly experienced the highs and lows of national hunt racing.

Galopin Des Champs takes centre stage in the Gold Cup on Friday as he bids to become one of the all-time greats by winning the race for a third year in a row. 

In this article, I will explain to you what a Lucky 15 bet is and pick out some big-priced each-way value with betting sites on day four of the festival that should get into the mix.

What Is A Lucky 15 Bet?

A Lucky 15 bet is a popular multiple-bet format in horse racing and other sports. It consists of 15 bets placed on four selections (teams, horses, or outcomes). The 15 bets are broken down as follows:

• 4 Singles (one bet per selection)
• 6 Doubles (each possible pairing of two selections)
• 4 Trebles (each possible grouping of three selections)
• 1 Four-Fold Accumulator (all four selections combined)

Why Is It Called A Lucky 15? 

The "lucky" part comes from the fact that even if only one selection wins, you still get a payout (unlike a traditional accumulator, where all selections must win). 

Some horse racing betting sites also offer bonuses, such as double odds if only one selection wins or a percentage boost if all four selections win.

Here's how it works. If you bet €1 per bet, the total stake would be €15 (€1 × 15 bets). 

Your returns depend on how many of your selections win and the odds of each.

Hello Neighbour - Triumph Hurdle (Friday 13:20)

East India Dock and Lulamba are currently battling it out for favouritism on betting apps in the Triumph Hurdle but has the market forgotten about the Irish raiders? 

The Spring Juvenile Hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival is a fantastic trial for this race which Hello Neighbour won with ease.  

He looks the clear pick of the Irish as he aims to give Gavin Cromwell another high-profile winner in what has been a fantastic season for the Meath man so far.

McLaurey - County Hurdle (Friday 14:00) 

Mark Walsh is in a fantastic position to win top jockey honours for the first time at the Cheltenham Festival and he will be hopeful McLaurey can edge him closer to the title in the County Hurdle.

The six-year-old looks very progressive and he arrives at Cheltenham on the back of a brace of wins as he aims to give JP McManus his fifth festival winner this week.

Ballybow - Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle  (Friday 15:20) 

This is a race that has been won by some big-priced winners such as Stellar Story, Minella Indo and The Nice Guy to name just a few and this year's renewal looks as open as ever.

Ballybow was an impressive winner of his maiden hurdle at Naas in January. 

The Gigginstown House stud-owned gelding took another step in the right direction when he narrowly beat the highly regarded Ballygunner Castle in Grade 3 at Clonmel.

Ballybow looks tailor-made for the staying test of the Albert Bartlett and he has all the attributes to follow in the footsteps of his stable mate Stellar Story who won the race for the same connections last year.

Wodhooh - Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle (Friday 17:20) 

Kopeck De Mee has been the talking horse in the handicaps for some time but odds of 9/4 look skinny enough for the Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle.

Gordon Elliott has failed to have a winner at this week's festival so far and he might have to wait until the very last race with Wodhooh to set that straight. 

The talented five-year-old is on a six-race winning streak and rounded off his festival preparations with a win over course and distance at the December meeting.
