Cheltenham Festival 2022: Gold Cup odds, tips, race card, runners, results, winners, weather, going for Day 4

The Cheltenham Gold Cup dominated proceedings on the final day of the 2022 Festival at Prestbury Park.

Last year’s winner Minella Indo travelled superbly and had the lead two out, but Rachael Blackmore and A Plus Tard moved to the front and stormed up the hill to take Gold Cup glory as they went one better than last year.

Before that, Paul Townend and Willie Mullins continued their excellent week when Vauban bolted up the JCB Triumph Hurdle, and Mullins took the County Hurdle too with State Man.

He got his third winner as The Nice Guy won the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle, while Billaway produced a thrilling run to beat Winged Leader on the line in the St James’s Place Festival Challenge Cup Open Hunters’ Chase. He was beaten by a head in the race last year, and came second the year before as well, but finally got the win he deserved.

Mullins brought up his fifth winner on Friday and tenth for the week when Elimay bravely held off both Pink Legend and Scarlet And Doves, before Banbridge sealed a clean sweep for the Irish on the day with victory in the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle.

On day three of the Festival, Flooring Porter defended his Stayers’ Hurdle crown, Allaho stole the show with a dominant display in the Ryanair Chase and Bob Olinger capitalised on a late fall from Galopin Des Champs to take victory in the Turners Novices’ Chase.
