It has been a typically dramatic week at the Festival with favourites clinching glory in the opening days before an unpredictable Thursday.

The Gold Cup is the pinnacle of the week with plenty of attention swirling around the feature race.

Serial winner Paul Townend has won the Gold Cup in three of the last five occasions, most recently in 2023 aboard Galopin Des Champs, who is the favourite to claim glory once again today.

Excitement is already rising ahead of the 2024 instalment of the great race, with the three most recent champion jockeys – Townend, Rachael Blackmore and Jack Kennedy – in contention once more.
