2026 Cheltenham Festival Day 2 Ante-Post Tips
If you’re looking to get your bets on early for the 2026 Cheltenham Festival then you’re in the right place. WhichBookie racing analysts Will Smith and David Young will be providing ante-post tips for various races throughout the festival including a selection of day 2 races.
You’ll find all of Will & David’s ante-post tips for Ladies’ Day at the top of this page as well on the individual race pages here at WhichBookie.
The benefit of ante-post tips is that you can often get much greater odds on horses compared to waiting closer to the day of the race. However, there is an increased risk with placing ante-post bets as it’s not guaranteed that your horse will run due to a number of reasons such as injury.
