Cheltenham betting: 2026 Brown Advisory Novices' Chase contenders and tip

This race looks most likely to be won by a Willie Mullins’ trained horse, and his leading pair are Final Demand and Kaid d’Authie, the latter of which is the most consistent and also beat the former by over 12 lengths at Leopardstown in February.

Final Demand may have been below form that day, but the JP McManus-owned Kaid d’Authie should be able to employ his usual consistency to be at the sharp end again.

Elsewhere, Kitzbuhel shouldn’t be discounted, having beaten the McManus horse at Punchestown in November. He has Harry Cobden riding, which ought to aid his chances and his price is far too large.

On a similar vein, Thomas Mor could massively outrun his odds of 66/1, having been just under three lengths behind Kitzbuhel at Kempton. He could pick up prizemoney again here.

Coral’s big-race tip: Kitzbuhel e/w at 18/1
