The Punchestown Gold Cup takes place at 17:30 today – as an elite field of four battle it out over three miles and half-a-furlong at the famed Irish racecourse.
Multiple-time Cheltenham Gold Cup and Irish Gold Cup winner Galopin Des Champs is a boosted favourite at 11/8 to finish first past the post.
The French-bred horse has come agonisingly close to winning the Punchestown Gold Cup on two occasions, finishing second in both 2023 and 2024 by slim margins.
Galopin Des Champs a BOOSTED 11/8 to get over the hump and win the Punchestown Gold Cup
Can the Willie Mullins-trained horse finally get over the hump and reign supreme in the Punchestown Gold Cup? Or, will he be upset once again?
For those anticipating the latter, Spillane’s Tower is perceived to be the biggest threat at 11/8.
Spillane’s Tower boasts solid course form, having won a Grade 3 and Grade 1 novice chase at Punchestown over the past 18 months.
Meanwhile, if you’re after an outsider, Banbridge and Monty’s Star round out the field at 10/3 and 17/2 respectively.
Sky Bet odds for the Punchestown Gold Cup today:

Banbridge 10/3
Monty’s Star 17/2
