Show Notes
The 2026 Cheltenham Festival is almost here and the countdown is well and truly on. Our #NotLongNow team are back to give their final verdict on Days 1 and 2 at Prestbury Park.
Rory Jiwani is joined once again by Ed Quigley, Adam Kenny and bet365’s Pat Cooney as they sift through the headline races, question a few short-priced favourites and try to unearth some proper value plays.
There’s no shortage of big calls either as Pat makes a bold pitch for his Grand Annual fancy, while Adam leans on some compelling trends to build a strong case in the Plate.
Expect lively debate, confident opinions and a few juicy prices thrown in for good measure — all in association with bet365.
