Cheltenham Ante-Post Treble: @TWEnclosure Racing Boost

With the Cheltenham Festival on the horizon and some of the main players for next year's big races starting to make their seasonal comebacks, we've looked ahead to the 2026 Cheltenham Festival to pick out an Ante-Post treble for next year's Cheltenham Festival.

Kopek Des Bordes - Arkle

Won the Supreme at Cheltenham in 2025 in fine fashion to round out a stellar debut campaign over hurdles. Will need his jumping to improve and fences to teach him some respect for his obstacles, but has a huge engine. Looks to make his chasing debut at Navan on Saturday 15th November and will strengthen up in the Arkle market with a win on chasing debut.

Final Demand - Brown Advisory

A point to point winner who scored on his maiden outing over hurdles by a wide margin before winning a Grade One at the Dublin Racing Festival over 2 miles and 6 furlongs. Didn't quite have the tactical pace for the Ballymore Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival behind The New Lion before winning well at Punchestown to finish the season. Will have plenty of scope going over fences and the step up in trip should unlock some more improvement.

Marine Nationale - Champion Chase

The reigning Champion Chaser will look to defend his crown and become a three time winner at the Cheltenham Festival to add to his 2023 and 2025 victories. Proved his Festival win this year wasn't a flash in the pan when dispatching his rivals well at Punchestown to win by 7 lengths. Returns to action in mid November and the road will lead him back to the Champion Chase for Barry Connell.
