Fact To File Gold Cup, Ryanair Chase & King George Odds after Cheltenham Win

March 13, 2025 at 4:13 pm GMT+0

Finally, on day three of the Cheltenham Festival, we've had a favourite put up a thrilling performance in one of the feature races.

Fact To File demolished the Ryanair field in great style, powering home to claim the prize, and from the moment he crossed the line, all eyes have been on next season, and where his future lies.

At the time of crossing the winning line successfully, he was made favourite for the King George, favourite for a repeat bid in the Ryanair Chase and has been shortened a lot for the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Interestingly, Willie Mullins was quick to say afterwards that he still sees this horse as a Gold Cup horse.

Fact To File Brilliant with Big 2025/26 Season Ahead

A star with a big performance, I think Fact To File set the Cheltenham Festival alight with his win in the Ryanair Chase, a much needed performance.

He was subject to plenty of money with people using free bets and cash bets to stake funds on him, supporting him at the top of the market.

There was talk around whether he would go to the Gold Cup or the Ryanair, but from the moment he was confirmed for the Ryanair, he's always been at the head of the market with betting sites, and well backed by punters.

All of that support and confidence was rewarded, he powered up the hill and came away from anything that tried to keep hold of his tail.

At the finish, he certainly wasn't stopping, which just adds even more intrigue into what will happen next season.

Fact To File Odds for the 2025/26 Season

There's odds for three big races next season, I think we'll see Fact To File in two out of the three, he definitely can't run in both the Ryanair and Gold Cup, of course.

Shortened for all three on the back of today's victory, here are the latest odds.
