Cheltenham Festival 2025: Lossiemouth now odds-on for Mares’ Hurdle

There are now four heavy favourites on Tuesday, leading the bookies to anticipate a repeat of the Festival’s opening day 10 years ago, when punters were on the verge of a £50m payout on the back of Douvan, Un De Sceaux, Faugheen and Annie Power four-folds before the latter fell at the final flight. 

This Tuesday’s favourites four-fold is a touch over 7/1.

Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes said: “After a week of speculation, Lossiemouth is a Mares’ Hurdle horse. It means that 10 years on from Annie Power’s dramatic fall at the last on Day 1 of Cheltenham, we’re primed for punters going big on a favourites four-fold.”
