We're back at Cheltenham this week for the November Meeting.
The return of Jonbon and the biggest race day of the year at Cheltenham outside the Festival in March are just two headlines for this week’s action at Prestbury Park.
Jonbon is a 4/9 chance to win the Schloer Chase on Friday, the first day of three also featuring the first race of the season on the cross-country course. Last year's Cross Country Chase 2nd at the Festival Galvin heads the betting at 5/1 (William Hill).
Jonbon Cheltenham Odds
Jonbon is the 4/1 favourite (BetMGM) to win the Champion Chase at the 2025 Cheltenham Festival having been one of the Nicky Henderson stable stars ruled out of last year's Festival.
He shades last year’s Arkle winner Gaelic Warrior (9/2 Unibet).

The feature race of the three-day meet is Saturday's Paddy Power Gold Cup. The favourite with the bookmakers at the time of writing is Paul Nicholls' Ginny's Destiny (7/2 bet365).
He was edged out by Grey Dawning in last year's Turners Novices' Chase, which has been replaced by a Grade 2 novice handicap chase over the same distance.
There is a 2m4f novice handicap chase on Sunday which will be an important marker for the new race at the Cheltenham Festival in March.
Sunday's highlight, however, is the Greatwood Hurdle. The market leader is Fergal O'Brien's Dysart Enos, unbeaten since his debut in March 2022 with wins at both last year's Grand National festival and here at Cheltenham last December.

Cheltenham November Meeting Tips
Last week, Steve Ryder showed his early hand for the Paddy Power Gold Cup Chase to Oddschecker Unlimited subscribers.
His ante-post Cheltenham tips for Saturday's race was LET'S GO CHAMP, nibbled in from 16/1 to a best price 12/1 since Tuesday's article.
Let's Go Champ has received 6% of the bets through oddschecker since the start of the month but Ryder believes a repeat of the Punchestown Festival performance for the lightly raced nine-year-old would see him go close.
