2023 Gold Cup Betting Guide
Willie Mullins will saddle the 2023 Gold Cup favourite, as Galopin Des Champs looks to make up for a fall at the final flight at last year's Cheltenham Festival. That remains the only time that Galopin Des Champs hasn't won over fences and Mullins' charge was backed into 6/4 favouritism following his victory in the Irish Gold Cup.
Grand National hero Noble Yeats, dual Grade One winner Conflated, and last year's National Hunt Chase winner, Stattler will also represent Ireland in this year's Gold Cup. King George hero Bravemansgame, Cotswold Chase winner Ahoy Senor, and Betfair Chase king Protektorat will fly the flag for the UK in the main event at the Cheltenham Festival.
