Cheltenham Race 5 - Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase (Grade 1) (Gbb Race)
Four-time G1 chase winner GAELIC WARRIOR (3) holds a good Festival record and is enjoying an excellent season with a neck success in the 4000m John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase preceding a very close third in the 4800m G1 King George VI Chase at Kempton and a 5L second in the 4800m Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown last month. Top selection. THE JUKEBOX MAN (11) found success by a nose attempting the aforementioned G1 King George VI Chase at Kempton. Arrives unbeaten over fences. Main danger. Since winning this last year INOTHEWAYURTHINKIN (7) has not scored. Previously won at the past two Festivals. Holds claims. The 2025 National Hunt Challenge Cup hero HAITI COULEURS (6) stays well gaining wins in the Irish Grand National and the Welsh Grand National during 2025. Interesting.

Had just one run last to post a big 4 len win. Down Royal in a G1 Champion Chase on November 1 over 4828m defeating Affordale Fury with 74.5kg at $3.80 in a jumps. First up last campaign came from midfield; finished third of 9 starters at this track in the G1 Ryanair (Festival Trophy) Steeplechase on March 13 over 4130m, 17 len behind Fact To File carrying 74.5kg at $13. Could spring a surprise but each-way hope at best.

Useful gelding. Comes off a 39 day let-up. Last run didn't finish the race at Leopardstown in the G1 Irish Gold Cup on February 2 over 4928m. Race before finished ninth of 11 starters at Leopardstown in the G1 Savills Chase on December 28 over 4928m, 41 len behind Affordale Fury with 74.5kg at $7.50. Makes plenty of appeal if showing best form.
