Can they do it again? A no-nonsense look at last year's champions...

The winners of last year's Championship Races all look set to arrive at Cheltenham 2026 to defend their titles... some battle‑scarred but battle‑ready... with others seemingly struggling to carry the weight of expectation...

... and I've taken a look at the chances of...

• GOLDEN ACE
• MARINE NATIONAL
• BOB OLINGER
• FACT TO FILE
• INOTHEWAYYOURTHINKIN 

...in a quick and handy data-driven post for you...

I'll have more free content available over the next few days... but if you want the proper, deep and in-depth analysis from me, then there's only one place you'll get that...

>>>Upgrade your Festival strategy on the NTF Analysis service

Important things to know for the NTF Festival Service...

• The Festival Service covers both Cheltenham AND Aintree (with some ad-hoc analysis in between the 2 meetings)
• The service will be provided via email only (so no need to log-in to the NTF Members Area)
• There will be NO Telegram group running alongside the service (this WILL return, however, for the 2026 NTF Summer Service) 

Cheers

Ben (NTF)

p.s. I'll have more great free Cheltenham content for you soon... so stay tuned...
