Having threatened to look like a straightforward rematch between last year’s front two, following an exiting period of Christmas racing, it appears as the Cheltenham Gold Cup market has been blown wide open.
The early season betting was dominated by defending champion Minella Indo and stablemate from the Henry de Bromhead yard A Plus Tard, with a lack of obvious dangers stepping up from novice company following the injury to Willie Mullins’ Monkfish. However, in the space of just three days in late December, the picture has changed significantly with Minella Indo failing to finish in the King George VI Chase at Kempton and Galvin stripping A Plus Tard of his Savills Chase crown at Leopardstown; as result, last year’s Gold Cup winner A Plus Tard can now be found at 7/2 with William Hill, followed by Gordon Elliott’s Galvin who’s 6/1 with 888 Sports Meanwhile, 2021 winner Minella Indo is currently at 10/1
