Frequently asked questions

What are the track conditions at Cheltenham?

The going, which is the official description of the ground, is shown at the top of this page for each Cheltenham meeting once its racecard is published the day before racing. The going can be changed up to and during a meeting, so check the live racecard close to the off.

Is there a draw bias at Cheltenham?

No. Cheltenham stages jump racing, and jump races are not started from stalls, so there is no draw and no draw bias. What shapes races here is the track itself: left-handed, very stiff, undulating, stiff uphill finish, big fences.

What does the AI Score show for Cheltenham runners?

Each runner racing at Cheltenham gets a 0–100 score from our flagship model, which ranks its chance in the race from well over a hundred inputs, among them ratings, recent form, class, course, distance and going records, speed figures from past races, and trainer and jockey form. The runner's own price is not an input to the model. After the model has scored the field, the morning price is used to rein in long-priced runners, and live price moves are never used.

What big races are run at Cheltenham?

27 Grade 1, 2 and 3 races have been run at Cheltenham since October 2025, including the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase, the Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle and the JCB Triumph Hurdle. Each is listed on this page with the first three home.

Are Cheltenham tips free?

Yes. Cheltenham race cards, AI scores and course stats are all free to view.
