Day three Cheltenham treble tips
Willie Mullins can start the afternoon off in fine style by bagging a victory in the Ryanair Mares’ Novice Hurdle with his up-and-coming mare Bambino Fever. The six-year-old won the Champion Bumper at the 2025 Cheltenham Festival, beating Heads Up by one-and-a-half-lengths, and she has produced some fine performances since that triumph at Prestbury Park.
BAMBINO FEVER 1/1 won at Punchestown in April and was second at Naas in December to round off the year, before romping to a 12-length success in a maiden at Fairyhouse in January. Mullins’ charge looks like an assured jumper and can take another step forward now back in graded company.

The Stayers’ Hurdle is the second of the three Grade 1s and is a fascinating clash between the established stars — and first two home last season — Bob Olinger and TEAHUPOO 4/1 (15:20 Cheltenham), up against the newer brigade of Honesty Policy, Kabral Du Mathan, and Impose Toi.
How much rain has fallen by this point will be crucial, so it may be worth holding fire until close to the off. The more rain, the better for Teahupoo — and the more it will count against Kabral Du Mathan and Impose Toi, both of whom may struggle to last home in testing ground.
Teahupoo has always been an underrated horse and will line up for his 11th consecutive Grade 1 on Thursday. Given a solid test of stamina, he can reverse last year’s placings with the admirable Bob Olinger and regain his staying crown.

FACT TO FILE 8/11 (16:00 Cheltenham) will be a short price in the Ryanair, but it is fully deserved after his back‑to‑back Festival victories in the Brown Advisory and this race last year. Many are disappointed that he is not in the Gold Cup field after winning the Irish equivalent at the DRF.
He showed plenty of speed in his youth, finishing second in the 2023 Cheltenham bumper, and it may be that doubts still linger for connections as to whether he would truly stay the Gold Cup trip.
It will be interesting to see whether Jonbon actually takes his chance or is simply declared as a back‑up in case of issues for the favourite. Heart Wood and Banbridge look better place prospects, though the latter would not want too much rain.
The race, however, looks at the mercy of Fact to File and could spark considerable post‑Festival debate as to whether he is better than whoever lands the Gold Cup on Friday.
