Cheltenham Festival Tips for Day 4 Races 2025

The final day of the week but the big one headlined by the Blue Riband of the National Hunt season, the Cheltenham Gold Cup which will be the centrepiece of the Cheltenham Festival day 4.

Juvenile hurdlers kick off the day in the Triumph Hurdle, a race which saw Willie Mullins’ Majborough win the race in style in 2024 for owner JP McManus.

The young hurdlers stay in the limelight with the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle third up on the card followed by the County Hurdle, a race where it could pay to follow either Dan Skelton or Willie Mullins who have cleaned up in the race since 2015.

Recognised as the most prestigious jumps race in the calendar, the Cheltenham Gold Cup is the second most valuable race in the UK, behind only the Aintree Grand National, with a huge cash prize available for the 2025 renewal. Galopin Des Champs lived up to the massive hype surrounding him leading up to the last renewal to win the race twice for Willie Mullins’ fourth victory in the race, all of which have come since 2019.

The Hunters’ Chase is always one of the biggest betting heats of the entire year, classed as the amateur’s Gold Cup, run over the same distance and twenty-two fences as the big race. The Mares’ Chase and the Martin Pipe round out the week, the former still in its infancy having only been run since 2021, and the latter one of the most difficult handicaps of the week.

Our Friday Cheltenham tips will cover all these races in fantastic detail, so make sure to check out this page regularly for our latest predictions. If you’re looking for tips for other days please check back to the Cheltenham Festival homepage.
