About
The William Hill Showcase — 23 and 24 October 2026 — is the traditional curtain-raiser to the jump racing season at Cheltenham. Two days of quality National Hunt racing on the Old Course, headlined by the squareintheair.com Handicap Steeple Chase and the William Hill Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap Steeple Chase, with the sport's biggest names getting their eye in for the winter ahead.
Autumn colours across the Prestbury Park hillside, food and drink around the parade ring, and a hospitality village open on both days. Under-18s go free with a paying adult. Advance tickets from the Jockey Club save on gate prices.
