We trawled through the ante-post markets to suggest four horses that look good value at their current prices

The dust is only settling on the 2025 Cheltenham Festival but for many jump racing fans the countdown has already begun for the 2026 edition.

Lecky Watson - Cheltenham Gold Cup - 25/1 It is unusual for the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase winner to be a double-figure price for the Gold Cup - never mind a 25/1 shot. This gelding was just short of top class in novice hurdles, but he never helped himself by travelling too keenly in his races.There was no fluke about his Cheltenham success and he did so on ground that would have been quicker than ideal.Jade De Grugy - Mares Chase - 12/1 The plan at the start of this season was to send this strapping mare over fences until a setback saw the Mullins team decide to stay over hurdles.

Dinoblue and Brighterdaysahead could be among her opposition, but there are reasons to doubt both of these horses, and Jade De Grugy might be the up-and-coming force in the division.
