Cheltenham Festival Day Four preview: "My main fancy in the handicaps"

Cheltenham Festival Day Four preview: "My main fancy in the handicaps"

Last Updated: Thu 5 Mar 2026
The final day previewed! 
We hope you have enjoyed each episode of the CoralCheltenham Formbook shows so far, with our top team previewing every race on the first three days of the 2026 Cheltenham Festival.
The Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup is, of course, a hot topic in this episode, and Danny Archer is again joined by Tom Stanley, Steve Mellish and Coral's David Stevens to preview jump racing's blue riband contest, plus the other contests on Friday.
And we have arguably saved the best until last as Steve Mellish reveals his "main fancy in the handicaps all week" plus is also sweet on the chances of a "relentless stayer" in the Albert Bartlett.
Enjoy the full show below plus you can also find links to the other preview shows below that. We would also again like to thank all viewers who have shared their views in the comments section for each video - we have enjoyed reading them and encourage everyone else to get involved.
Best of luck for next week! You may also find this page useful: Cheltenham Festival betting offers .
