Galopin Des Champs will be sent off favourite for the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup on Friday thanks to impressive victories in the John Durkan Memorial Chase at Punchestown and the Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup.
Willie Mullins’ charge has been skinny odds for much of the season despite last year’s champion A Plus Tard, King George winner Bravemansgame and 2021 winner Minella Indo being among his 12 rivals.
So here’s the dilemma. Do you agree with the bookies’ assessments and back a horse, which, let’s not forget, fell at the final fence in last year’s Turners Novices' Chase. Or do you look for some value?
And how much should form, weighting and the jockey on board be taken into account when looking for your Gold Cup pick?
Thankfully, with our new Pick Your Horse widget, all the guesswork is taken out of your hands when it comes to selecting who will carry your colours.
Just slide each of the elements along to reflect their importance to you.
We can’t promise it will throw up the Gold Cup winner but we can promise it will select the runner that best fits your requirements.
So what are you waiting for? Get sliding.
