Day One of the Cheltenham Festival features seven races, with customers gearing up to bet on no less than four Grade One encounters on Tuesday.

Best Cheltenham 2025 Offers:
Ultima Handicap Chase – 2:40
After the excitement of the Supreme and the Arkle, we have our first handicap race of the Cheltenham Festival.
Some 24 runners will battle it out over three miles and one furlong, with stacks of extra places likely to be available.
There is no clear favourite for the 2025 renewal, with Broadway Boy, The Changing Man and Katate Dori among the market leaders, although the odds for every horse means that an each-way bet would land a profitable return if your selection hits the frame.
We’re sure to see horses at big odds land some place money at the very least.
Hallgarten And Novum Wines Juvenile Handicap Hurdle – 4:40
The penultimate race on the Day One Cheltenham racecard has previously been known as the Fred Winter, with four-year-old runners battling it out over two miles, half a furlong.
There are a clutch of JP McManus-owned horses among the market leaders, with Stencil, Beyond Your Dreams and Puturhandstogether all in with a lively chance.
However, with a likely 22 runners set to go to post, look out for bookmakers offering five, six or even seven places when it comes to this encounter.
Princess Royal National Hunt Challenge Cup Novices' Handicap Chase - 5:20
We’ve got a slog over three miles and six furlongs to finish things off on Tuesday at Cheltenham, with 18 runners set for a long-distance battle and it’s the last chance to land a return on Day One.
Although Haiti Couleurs could go off as favourite, we once again have a scenario where a handsome return can be landed by taking favourable each-way terms.
Now Is The Hour and Transmission are horses that could be in the final shake-up.
