Paul Townend is the odds-on favourite in our betting odds to be crowned Top Jockey at the 2025 Cheltenham Festival.
(Odds will display when the market is available)
A four-time top jockey, Townend has prevailed in each of the last three years and has registered a total of 16 winners at the last three Cheltenham Festivals.
He will have a number of big rides for Willie Mullins and will be supremely confident of winning the award for a fifth time.
His main challenger in the Top Jockey odds market appears to be Mark Walsh, who is the retained rider for legendary owner JP McManus.
Aside from Townend, Nico De Boinville and Rachael Blackmore are the only other previous winners in the running to be the top jockey at the Cheltenham Festival.
Elsewhere, the likes of Jack Kennedy, Harry Skelton and Harry Cobden are all available at double-figure prices.
