Cheltenham Festival 2025 Day 1 (Results and Photos)

1:20pm Cheltenham - Supreme Novices' Hurdle Result

The perfect start to the meeting for favourite backers as KOPEK DES BORDES wins the Supreme Novices' Hurdle!

Paul Townend tracked the pace-setting Workahead and Romeo Coolio throughout. Turning in, Kopek Des Bordes moved to the front. William Munny made the favourite fight hard, but Willie Mullins' star was well on top at the line!

2:00pm Cheltenham - Arkle Challenge Trophy Result

Wow, what a finish to the Arkle. Favourite Majborough jumped sloppily throughout, and a poor leap at the last allowed L'Eau Du Sud to jump into the lead.

Dan Skelton's grey began to tie up. Only By Night came through to challenge. Majborough fought back along the inside. Then, suddenly, JANGO BAIE flew home from well off the pace to snatch a narrow victory!

2:40pm Cheltenham - Ultima Handicap Chase Result

MYRETOWN was backed into favouritism on the day of the Ultima and Lucinda Russell's novice ran out an easy winner. Patrick Wadge's mount made every yard of the running and sprinted clear after the last. The Changing Man finishes a clear second, with Malina Girl and Happygolucky completing the first four.

3:20pm Cheltenham - Mares' Hurdle Result

Back-to-back Mares' Hurdle wins for LOSSIEMOUTH, who proves herself far too good to be running with her fellow mares.

Jade De Grugy poached a five-length lead at the start and maintained that over the rest of the field. Take No Chances comes through late on to finish third.

4:40pm Cheltenham - Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle Result

Another winner in the Fred Winter for Joseph O'Brien as PUTURHANDSTOGETHER canters home to win easily!

Robbies Rock ran a screamer to finish second at 50/1. Liam Swagger, Hot Fuss and Slurricane round off the first five.

5:20pm Cheltenham - National Hunt Chase Result

HAITI COULEURS runs out a ready winner of the card-closing handicap for Ben Jones and Rebecca Curtis. Rock My Way and Will Do hang on for podium finishes, with Resplendent Grey and Transmission making late gains from the rear.
