Cheltenham Festival 2026, get rich, or die trying.

You're right. I had it in my head that they'd ended sponsorship for some reason.

Edit, they have ended sponsorship, I'm not sure who the new sponsor is yet or from what year they take the reins.

I'm not sure about the name, but I see his trainer is considering supplementing The Passing Wife for the Albert Bartlett Novice Hurdle.

"We have him in a couple of handicap hurdles and will wait to see what the handicapper does. We’ll also keep a close eye on the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle, as we wouldn’t rule out supplementing him for that."

Wendrock has been raised to 134 for this meeting, so should comfortably make the cut for either the old Coral Cup or Martin Pipe, whatever they choose.
Saw Wendrock was a sea of blue for the Martin Pipe, so presumably a comment Elliott has made at one of the previews. Had him and Jump Allen shortlisted for the Coral Cup, but can't work out what the cut off mark will be (both not guaranteed to get in).
 
I was wondering why I couldn’t find a new episode earlier. I thought Gary O’Brien was a huge improvement on Lydia who sometimes seems a bit star struck to my eyes
Many thanks. I listened last night. Gary's a real pro. I noticed at the end of almost every race analysis by Ruby he would ask Gary, 'What do you think?' I'll be following their Lucky 15 tips.

It's been 131 for the Coral Cup the last two years, I'd be surprised if he didn't get in off 134.

As you say, he was blue across the board for the Martin Pipe, so that might tell its own story.
