The first Yes/No Gameshow of the 2026 Cheltenham Festival season is here. Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills, Lizzie Kelly, Jaime Wrenn and Barry Doyle to take on the ante-post market leaders with 1xBet Ireland — and every favourite faces the same question: YES… or NO? Each panellist votes. No fence-sitting. Then they justify it. This is where conviction meets pressure.

🟥 Champion Hurdle

The New Lion – 9/4 favourite

Is he a worthy market leader — or too short in a race that punishes hype?

🟦 Mares’ Hurdle

Lossiemouth – 10/11

Banker or blowout?

🟩 Stayers’ Hurdle

Teahupoo – 13/8

Can he regain his crown? Or is he vulnerable at the top?

🟨 Champion Chase

Majborough – 7/4

The heir apparent? Or a short-priced risk in a division that bites back?

🟧 Ryanair Chase

Fact To File – Evens
Gaelic Warrior – 7/4

Two heavyweights. But will either run? If lining up, are they bombproof?

🟪 Gold Cup

Fact To File – 4/1
Jango Baie – 9/2

Is the market right? Or is the Gold Cup picture far more open than it looks?

🎯 What You’ll Get

• Clear Yes/No verdicts on every Festival favourite
• Strong disagreements
• One favourite each panel member is prepared to oppose
