33/1 Arkle Tip! 2026 Cheltenham Festival Novice Chase Preview | #NotLongNow Show

The countdown to the Cheltenham Festival keeps ticking, and even with the Dublin Racing Festival taking centre stage this weekend, our focus remains firmly on the ever-evolving ante-post landscape at Prestbury Park. Week four of #NotLongNow sees the Racehour team dive into one of the most thrilling divisions across the four days at Cheltenham: the novice chasers. Rory Jiwani is joined once again by Ed Quigley and bet365’s Pat Cooney, and this week they welcome top judge Gary Connolly to the panel. Together, they assess the leading novice chasing talent around, including a couple of eye-catching outsiders for the Arkle at 33/1 and 40/1. As always, expect forthright views, lively debate, and no shortage of big-priced angles — all in association with bet365. 👉 Visit our sponsors bet365 for all your weekend horse racing needs and more: https://bit.ly/racehour365 T&Cs apply.
