It's Day Four and the final day of the Cheltenham Festival!
bet365 have once again offered a huge Super Boost - this time voted on by their Twitter followers - as well as an enhanced jackpot for the 6 Horses Challenge plus more.
Read on for full information plus our Day 4 preview.
Rich Ricci has long hoped for a winner in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, and Gaelic Warrior is favourite to finally land the ultimate prize of jumps racing for him.
Today's bet365 Super Boost is Evens for a Top 5 Finish, which is a massive price boost from just 3/10.
There are only 11 runners in the race, with bet365 pricing 4 of those at 33/1 or bigger!
Gaelic Warrior is the joint top rated horse on official ratings, and has finished 1st, 3rd and 2nd this year in three hot Grade 1 contests.
Each time, he's recorded a Racing Post Rating of over 170, and he's also notably stayed right to the line in each, which is very promising for today's assignment.
As well as the massive Super Boost price, bet365 also have this special offer for all eligible players.
Get up to £5 free bets back if your horse loses in the Triumph Hurdle!
New and eligible customers simply need to bet £5 on the opening race of the day and, if your bet loses, you'll be credited with £5 on free bets!
Our tip for the Triumph Hurdle is Macho Man.
Arrived in Ireland for training for Willie Mullins with some decent hurdle form in the books already, getting the better of Feel Gut in France. That rival has come out and won in good style for Nicky Henderson since.
Sent off a warm favourite for the Hurdle won by Proactif at Fairyhouse, looking inexperienced.
With more time and that second run under his belt he can put another another good run.
bet365 are offering their superb welcome offer again for Day 4 of Cheltenham.
All new players can get £30 in free bets when they sign up, make a qualifying deposit of £5 or more, and bet £10.
You'll be credited with £30 in free bets, perfect for using on Cheltenham or this weekend's racing - or anything else you want to bet on.

The 2026 Cheltenham Festival draws to a close on Friday, where the Blue Riband event on the National Hunt calendar headlines the card. You can find a full rundown of the Gold Cup day card here.
The Grade One Triumph Hurdle kicks off the Gold Cup day card, with the notable absence of Narciso Has opening up the race. Proactif is likely to be a red-hot favourite, beating the reopposing Macho Man with something in hand last time. Highland Crystal and Minella Study are both interesting, unbeaten runners.
Willie Mullins and Dan Skelton have dominated the last three editions of the County Handicap Hurdle, meaning it’s unsurprising that runners from their yards headline the betting. Murcia has previous Cheltenham form to her name, while Karbou is Paul Townend's preference. Sinnatra is the runner from the Skelton yard, while Absurde will be aiming to be the first ever back-to-back winner.
The Irish have dominated the Grade Two Mares’ Chase, with last year’s winner Dinoblue headlining the betting for Willie Mullins. Panic Attack has already shown her class at Cheltenham this season, winning the November Gold Cup. Spindleberry showed plenty of ability before being pulled up in the Irish Gold Cup.
Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle
A stamina-sapping three-mile test for novice hurdlers is set for the Albert Bartlett. Doctor Steinberg headlines the betting after beating Kazansky at the Dublin Racing Festival. Thedeviluno could be Paul Nolan’s best chance of a winner this week, while The Passing Wife has opted for this after an impressive win last time out.
A vintage renewal of the Cheltenham Gold Cup headlines the action on Friday, with three of the first four from the thrilling King George set to reignite their rivalry. The Jukebox Man got the better of Gaelic Warrior and Jango Baie at Kempton, but both reappearing rivals have previous Festival wins to their name. Haiti Couleurs gives Rebecca Curtis a leading hope, while last year’s winner Inothewayurthinkin shouldn’t be completely dismissed.
A maximum field of 24 runners will go to post for the Hunters’ Chase. Last year’s winner, Wonderwall, will be a red-hot favourite, while Wrappedupinmay gives Sam Curling a strong hand. Its On The Line has been a regular in this race, while Panda Boy deserves respect for Martin Brassil.
The 2026 Festival draws to a close with the Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle, run over a distance of two miles and four. Kel Histoire has been well-backed for the Willie Mullins yard, while last year’s Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle winner Air Of Entitlement should be competitive. Roc Dino has run two big races in defeat this season, while East India Express is a previous course and distance winner.
After heavy overnight rain , we can expect soft ground today.
The going change has seen a real move for Haiti Coleurs in the Gold Cup (4pm). He has winning form and proven stamina, qualities that are going to be needed today. Expect him to remain popular in the market in what looks a wide-open race.
Sinnatra (2pm) has been well supported overnight for the Skelton team, and may well soon be vying for favouritism in the County Hurdle.
The Passing Wife (3.20pm) seems a popular pick among many pundits in the Media Room here this morning. Expect this one to continue to attract support.
Elsewhere, the finale at 5.20pm is a race with plenty of tips for several runners, none more so than Willie Mullins’ Kel Histoire.
