The 2024 Cheltenham Festival takes place from Tuesday 12th to Friday 15th March and many bookies have already started to release a number of Cheltenham betting offers. One of which is Non-Runner No Bet.
If you’re planning on placing your bets on Cheltenham early, Non-Runner No Bet is a great offer as there is an increased chance of your horse not running compared to betting on the day of the race. There are other advantages of placing ante-post bets such as getting better odds or simply finalising all of your bets for the festival if you won’t have the time on the day. Placing your bet only to see your horse not running and resulting in you losing your stake without even a chance of winning is never nice and so Non-Runner No Bet is an offer which you should be taking advantage of with your Cheltenham Festival ante-post bets. WhichBookie provides hourly updates on horse racing non-runners which can be useful to keep track on which horses have dropped out of races.
If you’re looking at having a bet on the races, WhichBookie racing analysts Will Smith & Steve Mullington will be providing Cheltenham betting tips for all of the races at this year’s festival. Both ante-post and daily tips will be published on our main horse racing tips page and you’ll find the latest Cheltenham betting offers from all of the top bookies of which there is sure to be plenty of.
Want to find out which horses have withdrawn from today’s races? Take a look at our list of Today’s Non-Runners which updates every 10 minutes to bring you up-to-date information on withdrawn horses across all UK & Irish races.
A number of bookies will be offering Non-Runner No Bet for Cheltenham this year. Some are quicker than others to release these offers but we’ll be keeping this page updated in the run-up and throughout the festival so that you know where the offer is available.
The table below displays all bookmakers offering Non-Runner No Bet for Cheltenham 2024. Take note of which races the offer is available on as it may not be applicable to all.

Non-Runner No Bet is a horse racing offer that allows you take advantage of ante-post bets without the worry of your selections not running. As mentioned, you can often get better odds ante-post compared to those offered closer to the day of the race which is the main reason many punters opt to get their bets on early.
When Non-Runner No Bet is offered, if you place an ante-post bet and your horse ends up not running, the bookmaker will refund your stake no questions asked. There are a number of possible reasons why your horse may not run such as getting injured, illness or it gets entered into another race. That’s why it is essential that you place your ante-post bets with a bookie offering Non-Runner No Bet.
The majority of bookmakers will refund your stake as cash when your horse doesn’t run but some bookies may offer a refund in free bets. This obviously isn’t as good as a cash refund but is better than placing your ante-post bets without any insurance. When Non-Runner Free Bets apply, we will add them into the terms in the table above.
