2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup Betting Favourites 

Galopin Des Champs

Odds

The favourite to win the 2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup is Galopin Des Champs at odds of 5/2. Those odds imply that Galopin Des Champs has a 28.6% chance of winning the 2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup.

2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup Chances

Galopin Des Champs won his second Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2024 when defending his crown from 2023. In 2025 he will be bidding for a historic hat-trick of Gold Cup victories.

Galopin Des Champs has the chance to become the first horse to win 3 Cheltenham Gold Cups in a row since the legendary Best Mate pulled off that feat with his 3 consecutive victories between 2002 and 2004.

The Willie Mullins-trained gelding is now 3/4 at the Cheltenham Festival and would have a perfect record had it not been for a fall at the last in the Turners Novices’ Chase when 12 leading by 12 lengths. At this stage all signs indicate that Galopin Des Champs will once again be the horse to beat in the next renewal of the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Fact To File

Odds

The second favourite to win the 2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup is Fact To File at odds of 4/1. Those odds suggest that Fact To File has a 20% chance of winning this race.

2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup Chances

The 2024 Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase champion is seen as the biggest challenger to Galopin Des Champs. Fact To File was impressive in that appearance, justifying favouritism of 8/13 to win by 3 3⁄4 lengths from Monty’s Star.

At the 2023 Cheltenham Festival, this gelding also put in a strong performance, that time finishing 2nd in the Champion Bumper. Fact To File looks to be a fantastic prospect and should continue to improve in his 2nd season over fences.

Il Est Francais

Odds

The third favourite for the 2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup is Il Est Francais at 8/1. Those odds imply that Il Est Francais has a 11.1% chance of being crowned the next Cheltenham Gold Cup winner.

2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup Chances

Il Est Francais is an interesting prospect to keep an eye out for next season. He has an impressive track record in France and made his debut in England at Kempton in December 2023 where he was dominant in an 11L win over Hermes Allen.

That win at Kempton continued his perfect record to 3/3 over fences with only 1 loss to his name over hurdles along with 5 wins.

Grey Dawning

Odds

Next up in the betting is Grey Dawning who is a 12/1 chance to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival. Those odds suggest that Grey Dawning has a 7.7% chance of 2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup glory.

2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup Chances

The Turners Novices’ Chase winner at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival is another name to watch out for in the antepost betting for the 2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup

Corbetts Cross

Odds

At 16/1 to win the 2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup is Corbetts Cross. Those odds imply that Corbetts Cross has a 5.9% chance of winning the 2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup.

2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup Chances

Further out in the betting we have Corbetts Cross who was a winner on Day 1 of the 2024 Cheltenham Festival in the National Hunt Challenge Cup. That win took his record to 2 wins over fences to go with 1 second and 1 third in 5 outings.
