The blue riband event of steeplechasing and centrepiece race of the Cheltenham Festival takes place this year on Friday, 16 March (3:30).

Galvin Gunning for Gold Cup Glory
Elliott, who missed last year’s Festival due to a six-month suspension of his training license, also has Savills Chase victor Galvin, now 4/1 second-favourite in the Cheltenham odds (from 6/1), at his Cullentra House base. Gigginstown other potential runners Delta Work and Run Wild Fred were scratched in favour of other Festival targets, however. Last season’s Kim Muir heroine Mount Ida goes for the Mares Chase instead.
Willie Mullins has three Cheltenham Gold Cup entries. They are dual race winner Al Boum Photo; the unlucky Asterion Forlonge and King George VI Chase hero Tornado Flyer. Al Boum Photo is the shortest price of these possible Mullins mounts at 8/1. Allaho, the Ryanair Chase favourite, was the most notable defection from this camp.

McManus and Henderson duo among best of British
Nicky Henderson now just has one horse left in the race. The JP McManus owned Champ, prominent in the Stayers Hurdle odds goes for that race instead. Owner stable companion Chantry House tries to build on his Cotswold Chase victory on Festival Trials Day here instead. He finished tired that day and is available at 16/1 (from 20/1)
Irish trainer Henry De Bromhead perhaps has the strongest set of Cheltenham Gold Cup entries, according to horse racing betting sites, however. Those are last year’s first and second, Minella Indo and A Plus Tard. Both must bounce back from disappointing displays over the festive period, however, yet remain prominent in the market.
A Plus Tard is the 3/1 favourite elsewhere including with Cheltenham non runner no bet bookies. Minella Indo is 13/2 (from 8/1), meanwhile, after his encouraging second at Leopardstown. Stable companion Eklat De Rire is another of the defections.
Protektorat best of British
Lucinda Russell has decided this is too much too soon for novice Ahoy Senor, even though lightly-raced first-season chasers winning the Cheltenham Gold Cup isn’t unheard of in the horse racing world. Coneygree managed this as recently as 2015.
Many Clouds Chase hero Protektorat is the shortest of the British hopefuls for Dan Skelton with Gold Cup odds of 12/1 (from 14/1). Connections have laid him out for a tilt at Cheltenham.
Colin Tizzard and connections of Eldorado Allen decided against supplementing him for this following his shock Denman Chase win at Newbury. Runner-up at big a price of 33/1 in the Arkle betting last season, the yard and owners go for the Ryanair Chase instead.
Venetia Williams’ Royale Pagaille is now 16/1 (from 25/1) after finishing second in the Denman despite again defying top weight in the Grade 2 Peter Marsh Chase at Haydock on his previous run in January. He finished sixth in the big one last season at 14/1 in the Gold Cup betting on ground sounder than ideal.
Bar those, the remainder are big prices. It’s 50/1 and greater Gold Cup odds for the remainder. This promises to be another absorbing edition of the blue riband steeplechase.
