You will notice when making early 2027 Cheltenham Festival predictions that some of the horses will appear in the odds for more than one race. That is common and the Cheltenham Gold Cup odds will update closer to the start of the race, when the final field is announced. However, the Cheltenham Festival 2027 betting odds will not be as generous then as they are now so why not download and sign up to one of the best sports betting apps for 2027 and make a Cheltenham 2027 prediction today.

3. Cheltenham 2027 Betting Predictions

We start our Cheltenham 2027 predictions with the Stayers’ Hurdle and it is difficult to look beyond The New Lion. Having come third in the 2026 Champion Hurdle, The New Lion lacked a little speed towards the end of the race but should be more suited to the longer distance in the Stayers’ Hurdle. There really is no outright favourite for this race with recent winners, including Home By The Lee, Teahupoo, and Bob Olinger potentially struggling against younger horses. Our first Cheltenham Festival 2027 prediction is The New Lion to win the Stayers’ Hurdle at 9 (8/1) with bet365.

Next in our Cheltenham 2027 tips we come to the Champion Hurdle and State Man makes an interesting bet at 21 (20/1) with bet365. State Man missed the 2026 event due to injury and it was Lossiemouth who claimed victory. Lossiemouth fully deserved the win but there was no real contender in the race that can match State Man. If State Man can return to the track in time for the 2027 Champion Hurdle and come close to his previous form, it will take something special to beat him in this race.

Prediction #2 State Man to win the Champion Hurdle

Moving to the Queen Mother Champions Chase and while Il Etait Temps is available at short odds, there is a reason why he is so highly fancied in 2027 Cheltenham Festival ante-post betting. Majborough was the favourite for this race in 2026 but made a couple of errors and Il Etait Temps took full advantage to power through impressively and win the race. Energumene and Altior have recently proved it is possible to win this race in successive years. With good preparation in 2027, Il Etait Temps is the horse to beat and is our prediction to win the 2027 Queen Mother Champions Chase at 3.5 (5/2) with bet365.

Prediction #3 Il Etait Temps to win Queen Mother Champions Chase

Finally, we come to the Cheltenham Gold Cup 2027 winner prediction. The Cheltenham Gold Cup odds have Gaelic Warrior as the favourite but we are looking at Jango Baie as a potential winner. Having finished second to Gaelic Warrior in 2026, Jango Baie looks like he has room for improvement and that is bad news for the other contenders. A year younger than Gaelic Warrior, Jango Baie quickly followed second place in the Gold Cup with success at Aintree in the Grade 1 Racing Welfare Bowl Chase. At 8 (7/1) with bet365, Jango Baie is our Cheltenham Gold Cup 2027 prediction.

Prediction #4 Jango Baie to win Cheltenham Gold Cup 2027
