The Cheltenham Only Bettor team are back for their ninth episode with Natalie Green as host and she is joined by the ever-present Dan Barber. Unfortunately, Daryl Carter was a late non-runner due to illness but this week the panel invited their third guest of the series with Betfair’s Kevin Blake back in the Cheltenham Only Bettor hot seat. On episode nine the team looked through the all the action from the week that was, with plenty of opinions on Lulamba’s UK debut. The big part of this week’s show saw Kevin Blake put into the hot seat to discuss Joseph O’Brien’s Cheltenham Festival team, and what races specific horses are likely to be entered for at Prestbury Park in March. The Triumph Hurdle was the big ante-post race in focus at the 2025 Festival with the team discussing the market as it stands and what may happen to it off the back of the racing in the coming weeks at Cheltenham’s Trials Day and the DRF. The lads finished by putting up ante-post selections for the Festival at this stage with Dan Barber doubling up his stake for a previously tipped horse in the Triumph Hurdle.
