Cheltenham Festival Day 3 Lucky 15 Tips: Thursday 12th March 2026 

Jordans Cross – 2:00 Jack Richards Novices’ Chase – 12/1

The margin of Jordans Cross’s last two wins has been a nose on both occasions, and this might put some people off him as he has only just scraped home.

However, he has finished with a rattle both times and will love a strongly run race, which he is likely to get in this year’s Jack Richards Novices’ Chase.

He was the only horse to come from mid-pack to challenge last time out in a race where the front-runners were able to dictate, so you can mark that performance up.

He does his best work late on and, while it is a very competitive race, he seems to be overpriced at double-figure odds.

Kabral Du Mathan – 3:20 Stayers’ Hurdle – 6/1

Cheltenham hasn’t always been on the agenda for Kabral Du Mathan, with connections favouring trips to Fontwell and Aintree for much of the season.

However, due to testing conditions at Fontwell, they now look likely to roll the dice in this year’s Stayers’ Hurdle and he appears a fascinating candidate.

He jumps slickly, has plenty of speed and is very unexposed, with the only question marks being whether he will see out the trip on his first attempt at three miles and whether he is a Grade 1-calibre animal.

His Relkeel Hurdle win was impressive and he will no doubt be ridden cold by Harry Skelton before being played late to utilise his turn of foot.

Supremely West -4:40 Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle – 4/1

Many people will be backing the Skelton yard blindly in handicaps at the Cheltenham Festival and, while it goes against my form-study beliefs, I think Supremely West will probably just win the Pertemps Handicap Hurdle.

He’s short enough at 4/1, but this looks like a typical Skelton plot where the race has been the target since he joined the yard from the Newland and Insole team.

He hasn’t set the world alight for his new yard but, as a result, he is now 2lb lower than when he arrived and hasn’t endured any hard races along the way.

The answer to the Pertemps could be staring us in the face.

Herakles Westwood – 5:20 Kim Muir Handicap Chase – 14/1

The Kim Muir trip looks perfect for Herakles Westwood and, in what appears to be a wide-open renewal, he could be going under the radar.

He ran respectably when seventh in the National Hunt Chase last year, possibly finding that marathon trip stretching him, and this three-mile-two-furlong distance looks ideal.

He was impressive on New Year’s Day when showing a good attitude to win a competitive Class 2 contest, and his consistency often makes him an attractive betting proposition.

Trainer Warren Greatrex has enjoyed a fabulous season and could cap it with a Cheltenham Festival winner.
