Cheltenham Festival 2025: Race card, results, winners, schedule, weather and latest odds today

One of the biggest headlines heading into the festival is the return of Constitution Hill. The unbeaten hurdler widely considered among the sport’s greatest, is back after being ruled out of last year’s festival due to illness, and looking to retain his Champion Hurdle crown.

Later in the week, Galopin Des Champs will be seeking a third straight Gold Cup win. Here’s everything you need to know…

The meeting runs for four days, beginning on later today on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, and running until Friday, March 14, 2025.

There are seven races each day, with the first at 1.20pm and the last at 5.20pm at Prestbury Park.

The racing action continues at Prestbury Park as day two of the 2025 Cheltenham Festival brings the Champion Chase as the headline attraction.

Nicky Henderson’s star chaser Jonbon is looking to emulate legendary stablemates Altior and Sprinter Sacre by winning the two-mile prize, but will have to overcome both his own Festival hoodoo and the cursed record of short-priced favourites in the race to take the spoils.

Earlier, the card gets underway with an intriguing clash between the best of the British and the Irish in the Turners’s Novices’ Hurdle as Dan Skelton’s New Lion looks to see off the raiding challenge of Final Demand and the Yellow Clay.

Willie Mullins looks to have a firm grip on the Brown Advisory Novices’s Chase, where Closutton companions Dancing City and Ballyburn – a Festival winner twelve months ago – head the market.
