Overview of the 2023 Gold Cup Favourite and Upcoming Race
Before we look at the participants and their respective chances of winning, we should probably note down the race details. In case you haven’t seen them already, the 2023 Cheltenham Gold Cup is scheduled for Friday, March 17th. More specifically, the race will take place at 15:30 on the final day of the festival. As for the participants and initial lineup, the field is incredibly strong this year. And naturally, Galopin des Champs is the number one contender to grab the win today.
Having won three G1 races since his fall at Cheltenham in 2022, Galopin des Champs leads the odds for the Gold Cup right now. In fact, the second favourite has odds of 7.50 compared to 2.50 for this horse. So you can see how clear the difference is in terms of how the bookmakers see things. The reason that the odds are so high isn’t just because of the 3x Grade One wins in a row either. It’s how emphatic these wins have been which have set the odds alight.
For clarity, Galopin des Champs won two of the previous three G1 events by double digits in terms of winning lengths. That’s just incredible really! But let’s be honest, anything can happen on the day, and there are other talented horses in the field. Most notably, last year’s winner, A Plus Tard, is in the pack with ante-post odds of 8.00. And second in line, we’ve got Bravemansgame with a price of 7.50, as mentioned previously.

Predictions for the Cheltenham Gold Cup Favourite
We’ve stressed that it won’t be easy for Galopin des Champs to win the Gold Cup. However, you really cannot argue with the kind of form that this horse has shown of late. He has dismantled some of the most talented horses in the game in recent months. And if you ignore the race that Galopin des Champs failed to finish during the Cheltenham Festival last year, he hasn’t failed to win a race since February 2021. These are the kinds of statistics that just cannot be ignored, and the Galopin des Champs odds of 3/2 certainly reflect this.
As for our prediction, we have to go with Galopin des Champs for the win, followed by A Plus Tard and then Bravemansgame in third.
