The Cheltenham Only Bettor team are back for their 12th episode with James Mackie filling in for Natalie Green as host and he is joined by the usual suspects of Betfair’s Daryl Carter and Racing Only Bettor’s Dan Barber. This week the panel invited their sixth guest of the series with ITV Racing commentator Richard Hoiles. On episode 12 the team looked through the all the action from the week that was on and off the track with the big talking point coming about Sir Gino missing the Arkle and the reshaping of the Grade 1 betting market. The big part of this week’s show saw the commentator extraordinaire put into the hot seat to discuss all things the Cheltenham festival, quizzing him on his best commentary moments at the show-piece Festival over the years whilst asking for his punting pointers for this year’s meeting. The Mares Hurdle was the big ante-post race in focus at the 2025 Festival with the team discussing the market as it stands off the back of the flip flopping in price of Brighterdaysahead at the top of the market. The lads finished by putting up ante-post selections for the Festival at this stage with Richard Hoiles chancing a 50/1 shot in the Champion Chase from an each-way perspective.
