The 2022 Cheltenham Festival concludes with one final bumper day of racing, including the prestigious Gold Cup.
The feature race of the week this afternoon is set to be a highly competitive affair, with Minella Indo looking to defend his crown from 2021.
However, the much-fancied Galvin, last year’s runner-up A Plus Tard and Al Boum Photo look set to pose a tough test, as do the likes of Protektorat and Royale Pagaille.
On Thursday, Flooring Porter triumphed again in the feature Stayers’ Hurdle, while there was success for Bob Olinger in the Turners Novices’ Chase after key rival Galopin Des Champs fell at the final fence.
