On the day that the first entries for the 2026 Cheltenham Festival emerge, with fledgling flurries into the Gold Cup, the Ryanair Chase and the Champion Chase being decided, it may seem a little bizarre to be recommending the next WhichBookie ante-post selections for the meeting in one of the handicaps.
However, in terms of entries being made aware, we are less in the dark about the potential line-up of the Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle on Thursday 12th March than we are any of the other handicaps, given the system employed to get a run.
There have been 12 qualifiers already, and a further 8 to run, and so while there are a few more likely types to emerge, there have been some extremely likely types that have already snuck their heads enough above the parapet to be of real interest in a market where this a good bit of availability around.
The usual pre-cursor for any tip regarding a Dan Skelton-trained handicap hurdler is that he is the best target trainer around, yadda yadda yadda… but he really is, and the yard are some way along the road of pulling off another masterstroke with a summer acquisition.
At 20/1 each-way with William Hill, Ladbrokes, Coral, BetVictor or 888Sport currently, it is worth a 2-star ** ante-post investment on Supremely West.
It’s probably fair to say that many will have spotted this particular plot after some interesting race-riding tactics and disadvantageous placing since Supremely West qualified for the Final with an eye-catching run at Cheltenham’s October meeting. Since then, Supremely West has run three times, and the handicapper is clearly wise to what’s playing out, as the horse has only been dropped 3lbs.
What is clear though is that Supremely West will be better when headgear is re-applied (won in blinkers for previous yard and yet to see them for the Skeltons), and also has a very good record when fresh. So don’t be surprised if we don’t see anything now of Supremely West until 10am on the Tuesday of the Cheltenham Festival, when declared for the Pertemps Final in blinkers.
Always a competitive affair but I’ve been sweet on the chance of BOLD ENDEAVOUR for a little while now and while I have complete respect for the chance of the favourite, I think there’s a little bit too much between the selection and him in the prices.
He was 4th in this race 2 years ago off a 13lb higher mark. He switched out of Nicky Hendersons yard for a few runs which saw his mark fall down but he qualified in a small field with every reason to fall out the back of the telly when asked, but instead he stuck to the task and was strong enough to the line for a horse who hadn’t run for 369 days. His Cheltenham record reads as 4 2 2 5 but the 4th was (as mentioned) in this race two years ago and the 5th was in the Martin Pipe behind Langer Dan so he clearly runs well here.
BOLD ENDEAVOUR – 0.5 STAR EW @ 8/1 (6 places 1/5)

The Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle is one of the most competitive races at the Cheltenham Festival. It is run over 3 miles on the New Course and features 12 hurdles to be jumped. Open to horses aged five and older, it is a true test of both stamina and jumping ability. Previous winners include Fingal Bay, Sire Du Berlais, and Mall Dini.
The Pertemps Final is one of the trickiest handicaps of the Cheltenham Festival, with qualifiers held throughout the season. Will Smith and Dave Young track these qualifiers closely, looking for horses who have been shaping better than the bare result suggests. Any 2026 Pertemps Final tips they put forward will be based on a strong view that the price still represents genuine value in a race that often throws up big-priced winners.
Race-day advice tends to be particularly useful for the Pertemps Final, as the final field can change a lot depending on which horses secure their place through the qualifiers. Will and Dave focus heavily on proven stamina, how a horse handles big fields, and whether recent performances hint at more to come over this trip.
It’s not unusual for one of their Pertemps fancies to appear in Will Smith’s EW Lucky 15, especially when a horse has been steadily improving through the winter. His Cheltenham Festival Lucky 15s have been popular for good reason, and the Pertemps often provides the kind of profile he likes to include.
Ante-post tips for this race are less common, but not impossible. If either analyst spots a runner still looking fairly handicapped or trending in the right direction, they won’t shy away from putting it up early. Should a selection become available from Will or Dave, you’ll find them on our ante-post racing tips page.
For more ways to find extra value across Cheltenham 2026, remember that our Placepot tips and racing extra places pages are updated throughout the week. They’re a great resource for EW bets or if you’re looking for a wager that is a little different to your standard singles or EW Lucky 15.
The Pertemps Final has shown a strong pattern around preparation. Nine of the last ten winners wore a tongue tie, and the last twelve were either trained by Gordon Elliott or had run within the previous 39 days. Only two of the last twenty-seven winners had actually won a qualifier before lining up here.
Recent Festival form has not been a major factor, with only three first-time winners this century having previously placed at a Festival. Twelve of the last fifteen winners were rated 138 or higher, and Willie Mullins is yet to win the race, while Paul Nicholls only broke his record in 2024.
Horses must run in designated qualifying races during the season to earn eligibility for The Pertemps Final Handicap Hurdle.
The race is run over 2 miles and 7 furlongs on the New Course.
Yes, runners are allocated weights based on their official ratings.
Yes, it regularly attracts a strong and competitive field drawn from a series of qualifiers.
