On what could be a St Patrick’s Day to remember for the Irish at Cheltenham, Galopin Des Champs is fancied to prove himself a class above his rivals in the week’s highlight, the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Irish-trained horses won all seven races on Gold Cup day last year and it’s far from impossible that the feat will be repeated this year.
