Cheltenham Gold Cup Trends 2024

This year's Cheltenham Gold Cup looks like a tricky conundrum to solve with Galopin Des Champs heading the market, with a host of talented rivals in opposition. Here are the main trends for the Gold Cup to help you find the most important winner of the week.

• Irish-trained horses have an excellent record in the race, having won 8 of the last 11 Gold Cups.
• Only 5 of the last 11 favourites have won the race.
• 6 of the last 10 winners were aged 8.
• 10 of the last 10 winners had previously won a Grade 1 race.
• Only 1 six-year-old has won the race since 1963 and that was Long Run in 2011.
• 17 of the last 23 winners had won on their previous outing.
• Only 8 horses have ever won the Gold Cup more than once.

Previous 10 winners of the Cheltenham Gold Cup

Cheltenham Gold Cup 2024 Tips

Galopin Des Champs showed off his class to shrug off his rivals in last year's Cheltenham Gold Cup, beating Bravemansgame by seven lengths.

The star seven-year-old trained by Willie Mullins was subsequently beaten in the Punchestown Gold Cup at the end of a long season but is current favourite to follow up in 2024's renewal.

Irishracing.com editor Vincent Finegan and racing expert Emma Nagle have cast their eyes over the Gold Cup field and selected their best value bets in the big race.

Vincent Finegan's Gold Cup Tip - Hewick

Hewick was running a big race when falling two fences from home in last season's Gold Cup and should represent a bit of each-way value in this year's contest. His King George VI Chase victory again proved that he is a talented chaser with a battling mentality. If the ground comes up close to Good he will be difficult to keep out of the frame.

Emma Nagle's Gold Cup Tip - Galopin Des Champs

Galopin Des Champs could go down as one of the Gold Cup greats if he can keep progressing from that Leopardstown performance. To trash that quality of field was breathtaking, it's hard to see anything troubling him in the Gold Cup if he can reproduce that on the big day. There is a score to settle with Fastorslow but I think he will put that to bed come March.
