Three days of absorbent races passed through the first three days of Cheltenham festival, which were high on drama and emotions.
But now is the time for the main action, a golden cup.
Nine runners will be wrapped up with 22 fences during three miles and two Furlong, while everyone is trying to cut their name in Cheltenham history, and the most successful coach of the festival has come out to join a very exclusive club.
1.20 – a triumph of obstacles
Race limited to four -year -old minors who have produced four of the next champion winners, along with the double Grand National winner Tiger Roll (2014). Twiston-Davies himself drives 2-1 favorite port of Eastern India.
2.00 – county obstacle
The handicap of a two -mile obstacle, won seven times by coach Willie Mullins, who has a favorite in this one in this one. Paul Townend drives 10-3 Karges.
2.40 – the mare of chase
Limerick Lace, winner of 2024, is a 7-1 shot to repeat the feat this year. Mullins has 6-5 favorite dinoblues.
3.20 – Alberta Bartletta Novak’s obstacle
Definite a remote beginner test, Big Westerner is a 5-1 favorite for coach Henry de Bromhead, who tasted success in an obstacle on Thursday. Gordon Elliott coached last year’s winner Stellar Story and will have great hopes for Wingmen (9-1).
4.00 – Golden cup
The edition of the most prestigious rebound races at 2025 will probably be extremely special for Mullins. Galopin Des Champs won the last two Golden Cups for the Irish coach and is a favorite 4-7, which became the first horse from his best colleague in 2004, which he won three in a row.
If he does, Mullins will join Tom Dreaper as only another coach who requested five golden wins. Banbridge (5-1) is considered to be the main threat, and coach Joseph Patrick O’Brien is looking for his first Golden Cup victory.
Simply the best! 🤩

4.40 – chasing hunters to St. James
Often marked the golden glass of amateur, the hunters are chased on the same path and distance, and serves as evidence for amateur jockers. Angels Dawn is the favorite 7-2.
5.20 – Hurt’s handicap tube obstacle
The last race of the festival is only open to the conditional jockers, professional riders who are still starting their career, and provides the opportunity to Mullins that he can attract a potentially historical day in style. Seddi 9-4 favorite Kopeck de Mee.
Time
Departure is well soft, but the prognosis of light rain could complicate things a little with extra softening of the soil.
