### Where the race fits

It follows the [Tingle Creek Chase](/racing-news/tingle-creek-chase/) at Sandown in December, and the next big Cheltenham card after it is [Festival Trials Day](/racing-news/cheltenham-trials-day/). When Ascot cannot race, the Clarence House has been re-staged at Cheltenham. Our [festivals and big races board](/festivals/) lists every big race coming up, soonest first.

On race morning the [AI race predictor](/ai-race-predictor/) publishes its ratings and fair prices for every British race, the Clarence House included.

- **Free bets and their terms.** Check the minimum odds and the expiry before you claim. Our [free bet offers](/bookmakers/best-free-bet-offers/) page compares them.
- **Best odds guaranteed.** Prices move once the going is known. A BOG bookmaker pays the starting price if it is bigger than the price you took. See our [best BOG bookmakers](/bookmakers/best-bog-bookmakers/).
