Andy Newton’s ITV Racing Tips Cheltenham and Doncaster: Saturday 24th January 2026\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The ITV Racing schedule<\/a> on Saturday comes from Cheltenham <\/strong>and Doncaster<\/strong>, with EIGHT races being shown on the ‘free-to-air’ channel.<\/p>\n

It’s Cheltenham Trials Day<\/a> at Prestbury Park – which, as the name suggests, will give punters some more clues ahead of the Festival in March.<\/p>\n

With this also the final Cheltenham fixture before the four biggest days at the track in just under two months.<\/p>\n

The action will include the Unibet Hurdle (3:00), as Champion Hurdle jolly Sir Gino takes on The New Lion.<\/p>\n

With the last horse to win the International and follow-up in the Champion Hurdle (same season) – Rooster Booster in 2003.<\/p>\n

While Impose Toi puts his Stayers’ Hurdle credentials on the line in the Cleeve Hurdle (3:35).<\/p>\n

Then L’Homme Presse will be looking to become the first ever ‘back-to-back’ <\/em>Cotswold Chase (2:25).<\/p>\n

There are also three ITV races at Doncaster on the afternoon, that include the Great Yorkshire Chase (2:05) – a race Docpickedme won in 2025 and is back for more.<\/p>\n

So, to take you through the action you can see Andy Newton’s ITV Racing tips below – as he gives you his 1-2-3 best bets and key trends.<\/p>\n

Let’s get going.<\/p>\n

Cheltenham ITV Racing Tips: Saturday 24th January, 2026 \ud83c\udfc7<\/h2>\n

\"Cheltenham<\/p>\n

1:15 Cheltenham \u2013 Betfair Exchange Handicap Chase (Premier Handicap) (Gbb Race) Cl1 (5yo+) 2m4\u00bdf ITV<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With all of the last 10 winners aged eight or younger this would be against the 10yo Triple Trade, who won well at Sandown last time.<\/p>\n

While with 18 of the last 21 rated 130+, this might put some off the 128-rated Javert Allen.<\/p>\n

Moon d’Orange won this last season and has to be noted on that alone. He hasn’t won since though (eight races) but is only a pound higher.<\/p>\n

Jockey Gavin Sheehan has done well in this race recently too and rides Aintree scorer Prairie Wolf and is only up 3lbs for that success.<\/p>\n

But I think UNCLE BERT<\/strong> could outrun his odds for the NTD team. He clearly didn’t stay the Welsh National trip last time (fell), but ran well till his tumble<\/p>\n

While don’t forget, he was a nice winner before that at Aintree and is only 6lbs higher.<\/p>\n

Back in trip here will suit and the Twiston-Davies camp have also won this race twice in the last eight runnings.<\/p>\n

While the form of that Aintree win has been boosted with Richmond Lake (2nd) running well in the Peter Marsh last weekend.<\/p>\n

Market Dominated By Bob and Jag<\/strong><\/h4>\n

But it’s also hard to get away from the main two in the betting – Bolster Bob and Jagwar.<\/p>\n

The former beat last week’s Ascot winner Vincenzo last March in the Greatwood Gold Cup and returned this season with another good win at the same track – Newbury.<\/p>\n

Up 9lbs here but looks progressive.<\/p>\n

However, JAGWAR<\/strong> looks the one to beat.<\/p>\n

He’s 1-1-3 here at Cheltenham, having won the Plate at the Festival last season (up 10lbs).<\/p>\n

Plus, certainly wasn’t disgraced when third in the December Gold Cup last month on his first run back.<\/p>\n

That form has been franked with the already mentioned Vincenzo winning last weekend, while the softer ground is fine.<\/p>\n

So, with the expected improvement, Jagwar is the ITV Racing tip to ‘motor’ home.<\/p>\n
