Cheltenham Festival Tips for Day 2 Races 2026
Our Wednesday 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.
Check out all of the Racing Posts’ hottest tips for day 2.
Day 2 Wednesday Feature Racing Tips – Queen Mother Champion Chase
The Queen Mother Champion Chase is the one of the most prestigious races at the Cheltenham Festival and is a Grade 1 National Hunt steeplechase run over a distance of 2 miles. It is open to horses aged five and older and is run on the Old Course at Cheltenham Racecourse. The race was first run in 1959 and was named in honour of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, who was a keen follower of National Hunt racing. The race is often considered to be the “blue riband” of National Hunt racing and is the highlight of the Festival.
There are few better sights in racing than two-mile chasers in full flight and the 2024 Queen Mother Champion Chase should be no different. El Fabiolo flopped when sent off a very short favourite for the contest in 2024, with Henry de Bromhead’s outsider Captain Guinness taking full advantage. In 2025, Marine Nationale put in a stunning performance to win by a wide margin for Barry Connell.
Turners Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 1) – Preview & Tips
Wednesday at the 2025 Cheltenham Festival kicks off with the Turners Novices’ Hurdle, a race that will take much better shape once final declarations have been made with plenty of fancied runners seemingly undecided between this and the festival curtain-raiser, the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle.
10 of the last 12 runnings have gone to Ireland but Dan Skelton bucked the trend as The New Lion won in 2025.
Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase (Grade 1) – Preview & Tips
The Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase has seen Denman, Bobs Worth and Lord Windermere all follow up on their wins here in the Cheltenham Gold Cup the following year. The Brits have more than held their own in this race with five wins from the last 10 runnings, a trend that has been upset a bit with Fact To File and Lecky Watson winning the last two years.
