On The Wire Cheltenham Festival review: "Back that horse at Aintree!"

On The Wire Cheltenham Festival review: "Back that horse at Aintree!"

By Racing TV
Last Updated: Thu 19 Mar 2026
A full review of the Cheltenham Festival!
Regular host of our popular show, Andrew Blair White, returns to the hot seat for a special edition of On The Wire, sponsored by BOYLE Sports, with our top team looking back at the 2026 Cheltenham Festival. 
Expert analysis, punting highs and lows, predictions for the future, and a whole host of eye-catchers feature in an in-depth review of a brilliant four days at Prestbury Park.
Andrew is joined by regular guests Gavin Lynch, Dan Overall and Mark Boylan who also look ahead to the Grand National meeting at Aintree plus the BOYLE Sports Irish Grand National in April. Spoiler alert: Gavin Lynch reveals 12 horses who caught his eye in defeat at the Cheltenham Festival in this show, so make sure you get your Racing TV Trackers ready before tuning in. Among Gavin's 12 eye-catchers is a horse who he thinks will be worth backing in a handicap hurdle at Aintree in April.
As ever, our thanks to BOYLE Sports for their ongoing support of On The Wire, and to the viewers who have been enjoying the episodes this season. 
We would also encourage you to leave your views following the 2026 Cheltenham Festival in the comments section on YouTube. Enjoy!
