20/1 Ante-Post Tip! 2026 #NotLongNow Cheltenham Festival Mares' Races Preview

With the Dublin Racing Festival now in the books, the focus sharpens on Cheltenham as the countdown continues. Week five of #NotLongNow sees the Racehour panel turn their attention to the Mares Division and the key races shaping up for the Festival.

Rory Jiwani is joined by Ed Quigley and bet365’s Pat Cooney to run the rule over the three major mares’ contests at Cheltenham, assessing the market leaders, questioning the hype, and identifying where the real value might lie. There are strong opinions across the board, including a confident shout from Ed Quigley, who believes Wodhooh could be a standout play in the Mares Hurdle.

Expect straight-talking analysis, plenty of debate, and a few juicy prices along the way — all brought to you in association with bet365.
