Galopin Des Champs seeks historic third Gold Cup win

Galopin Des Champs aims for a historic third consecutive win in the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase on March 14, 2025. The nine-year-old has already secured ten Grade One chase victories, including a recent win in the Irish Gold Cup. Lulamba, trained by Nicky Henderson, is favored to win the Grade One JCB Triumph Hurdle, seeking to extend Henderson's record to eight victories in this event. Other notable contenders include Jasmin De Vaux in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle and Limerick Lace in the Mares' Chase. It's On The Line looks to improve on last year's second place in the St James's Place Festival Challenge Cup, while No Ordinary Joe aims for victory in the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle, having shown signs of form recently.
