Watch: The Racehour Builds A Monster 462/1 Cheltenham Acca

This week’s episode of The Racehour - brought to you in association with Bet365 – is a Cheltenham special with a twist.

Stephen Cass is joined by Diarmuid Nolan, Tony Keenan and special guest Andrew Blair White to tackle a bold challenge.

They assess 16 Cheltenham Festival ante-post favourites and decide which are worthy of inclusion in one ultimate accumulator.

The format is simple but ruthless. For each horse, the panel answer one question:
"You’re building a Festival acca - does this horse make it?"

It’s fast-paced, opinionated and laser-focused on Festival value — another essential Cheltenham episode of The Racehour.

Yes Or No? Supreme, Certainties & Strong Disagreements

For every selection, each panellist gives a straight Yes or No, backed with a concise reason. If three out of four say Yes, the horse earns its place.

The debate begins with the headline acts, including whether Old Park Star deserves his place in a Festival multiple for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle. 

The panel weigh up hype versus hard evidence, with jumping, pace and temperament all scrutinised under the acca microscope.

Attention then turns to some of the perceived “bankers” across the week. Is Narciso Has really as unbeatable as the market suggests? Or is the current price built more on reputation than reality? 

Building The Bet & Stress-Testing The Favourites

As the selections stack up, tension builds. Some short-priced favourites are waved through unanimously, while others split opinion and crash out of the acca altogether. 

The format forces clarity - no hedging, no maybes - just conviction.

By the end of the show, the surviving picks combine to form a 462/1 Festival accumulator, according to horse racing betting sites, representing the collective judgement of the panel.
