BETS BETS OUR OUR SAVE

WELCOME TO

Welcome to The November Meeting – Countryside Day

Hello and a very warm welcome back to Cheltenham Racecourse for the opening day of The November Meeting, one of the most anticipated weekends in the Jump racing calendar.

Today we celebrate Countryside Day, a wonderful occasion that brings together rural life, heritage and top-class racing We’re delighted to once again welcome the Countryside Alliance for their continued support of this special day, as we honour the traditions and communities that form the heart of the countryside.

Before racing gets underway, there’s plenty to enjoy across the racecourse The morning begins in the Parade Ring at 11.00am with the Hunt Horses and Hounds Parade, a traditional spectacle celebrating the partnership between hounds, horses and Hunt Staff At 11.20am, make your way to The Centaur for the Paddy Power Preview Show, where Paul Jacobs will be joined by Ruby Walsh and Harry Cobden to discuss today’s card and share their thoughts on the season ahead Following a short break, attention returns to the Parade Ring at 11.55am for a captivating Birds of Prey Display, a fascinating insight into these magniﬁcent creatures in full ﬂight. Then at 12.30pm, join Martin Kelly and Hayley Moore in the Winners’ Enclosure for our Official Raceday Preview Show, offering expert insight into the afternoon’s action and horses to watch.

The racing action promises to be exciting Our feature race of the day, the Shloer Steeplechase, sees the return of the ever-popular Jonbon, who has claimed this race for the past two years. Standing in his way are a few familiar rivals, including former Festival winner Edwardstone, as well as L’Eau du Sud, an exciting new contender for this season’s two-mile Champion Chase division following last season’s dramatic Arkle at The Cheltenham Festival Elsewhere on the card, a host of fascinating novice hurdle and chase contests may well unearth the next big star of the season.

Another highlight of the afternoon is the continuation of the Unibet Middle Distance Veterans’ Chase Series, which we’re delighted to stage here today. This series provides a wonderful platform for experienced chasers to continue their careers at a highly competitive level. Keep an eye out for familiar Cheltenham names such as Fugitif and Eldorado Allen, who feature among today’s ﬁeld

The 50:50 Raffle returns following a fantastic debut during The Showcase Meeting, giving racegoers the chance to win big while supporting a great cause Be sure to take part and help make a difference to the Gold Cup Community Fund

Whilst the forecast for today is on the wet side, we have a plethora of undercover spaces across the racecourse to keep you dry and comfortable throughout the day. With our new refurbished bars, there are plenty of options to relax, refuel and take shelter from the elements. Highlights include the brand-new Cheltenham Retreat beside the Guinness Village, the ever-popular Quevega’s Food Court, and the See You Then Terrace, each offering a great selection of food, drink and atmosphere Wherever you choose to settle, there’s ample space to enjoy a bite to eat and a drink while staying cosy and dry.

In The Guinness Village, Cheltenham favourites LAMPA return with a lively mix of Irish favourites and greatest hits performed throughout the day. After racing, the fun continues with an hour of post-racing music – the perfect way to round off your day with friends at The Home of Jump Racing. Over in The Centaur, join Tommy and The Fuse for an hour of feel-good acoustic tunes, the ideal soundtrack to unwind and soak up the atmosphere after an action-packed afternoon

We extend our sincere thanks to today’s sponsors: Lycetts Insurance Brokers, Unibet, The Sun, Shloer, Albert Bartlett and Valda Energy, for their generous support in making today’s raceday possible

Whether this is your ﬁrst visit or a welcome return, thank you for being part of The November Meeting, our biggest ﬁxture outside of The Festival Enjoy the magic and spirit of Countryside Day here at Cheltenham Racecourse, the Home of Jump Racing

GUNSIGHT RIDGE looked as good as ever last season and might well have made a winning reappearance at this meeting 12 months ago had he not departed at the last, so gets the vote tackling a veterans event for the ﬁrst time.

Irish raiders HEADS UP and Welonlyhavedone both look very promising and they could be the pair to concentrate on. Marginal preference is forthe former, who tables the best piece of bumper form courtesy of his second in the Champion Bumper here in March and he barely put a foot wrong on debut in this sphere at Listowel Welonlyhavedone is unlucky not to be 2-2 over hurdles and he’s greatly respected. No Drama This End could be the pick ofthe home team ahead of Great Fleet.

THE EXPENSIVE ONE: Following its run on 24/10/2025 it was reported that the horse’s saddle slipped.

Probable S.P’s: 6-1 Alphonse Le Grande (IRE), 13-2 Fortune de Mer (IRE), 9-1 Bruant (GB), 11-1 French Emperor (FR), 14-1 Jack Hyde (IRE), Frontier Prince (GB), Lucky Bere (FR), 16-1 Shade of Winter (IRE), The Expensive One (IRE), Katakana (FR), 18-1 Pure Gold (GB), 22-1 Amancio (GB), Aeroplane Blonde (GB), 40-1 Quint Major (IRE), Sage Green (IRE), Bobby’s Fortune (IRE), 66-1 Farhh Echo (IRE), 100-1 Doctor Glide (FR)

This could go the way of FORTUNE DE MER, who showed the beneﬁt of his hurdling debut when winning a Grade 2 novice at this C&D last month, travelling strongly with a hood applied. He can progress further in handicaps and is preferred to Alphonse le Grande, who has developed into a useful stayer on the Flat since last seen over hurdles. Jack Hyde and The Expensive One complete the shortlist.
