By Racing TV
Last Updated: Tue 3 Mar 2026
Host Danny Archer is joined by Tom Stanley, Steve Mellish and Coral's David Stevens to preview day three of the 2026 Cheltenham Festival in the latest episode of the Coral Cheltenham Formbook show!
The show includes a full preview of the bumper Grade One action that takes centre stage, with the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase, the Mares' Hurdle, the Stayers' Hurdle and the Ryanair Chase all put under the microscope.
Our top team reveal their best bets, expert insight and more, with the show filmed at Sandown Park.
Spoilers alert: Steve Mellish makes a strong case for a Paul Nicholls-trained contender in the Jack Richards Novices' Limited Handicap Chase, and David Stevens is also a fan of his selection, while Steve's nap runs in the Pertemps Final.
