Cheltenham Festival Tips for Day 4 Races 2026

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. The young hurdlers stay in the limelight with the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle and we also have 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 2026 renewal. Inothewayurthinkin was supplemented for the race late on and bolted up for Gavin Cromwell in 2025.

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.

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.
