Festival 2027
Cheltenham Festival 2027 value bets
The Cheltenham Festival 2027 runs Tuesday 16 to Friday 19 March. Four days, 28 races, the deepest jumps cards of the year. The Odds Father model prices every Festival race as soon as fields are declared, with value flags updating live across every major bookmaker.
The marquee races
- Tuesday — Supreme Novices', Arkle, Champion Hurdle, Mares' Hurdle
- Wednesday — Ballymore, Brown Advisory, Coral Cup, Champion Chase, Cross Country, Champion Bumper
- Thursday — Turners Novices', Pertemps, Ryanair, Stayers' Hurdle, Mares' Chase
- Friday — Triumph Hurdle, County Hurdle, Albert Bartlett, Gold Cup, Hunter Chase
Where Festival value lives
- Handicap chases — Plate, Kim Muir, Grand Annual (massive fields, soft pricing)
- The Coral Cup and County Hurdle handicaps
- Cross Country chase — specialist horses, thin markets, big overlays
- Mares-only races where one horse looks ahead of the rest at fair odds
Where to be careful
- Champion races with 4–6 runners and a strong favourite — minimal edge
- Supreme and other novice contests with unraced point-to-pointers — LOW confidence
- Bumper — almost always low-confidence in our model
How to play the Festival
- Wait for declarations — tissues stabilise once final fields are known.
- Sort by edge — focus on +10% overlays in confidence bands A or B.
- Take early prices the night before — Festival markets tighten dramatically overnight.
- Have a Betfair backup — every bookmaker tightens accounts during Festival week.
