Bet 365 Gold Cup Betting Favourites
Kitty’s Light
Odds
The favourite to win the Bet 365 Gold Cup is the Willie Mullins-trained Kitty's Light at odds of 7/2. Those odds imply that the horse has a 22.2% chance of winning the Gold Cup for his owners for the second successive year.
Pedigree
Sire: Nathaniel (IRE)
Dam: Daraiyna (FR)
Career Record
Race Type | Runs | Wins | 2nds | 3rds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Chase | 26 | 7 | 6 | 3 |
Hurdle | 7 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
NHF | 3 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Rules Races | 36 | 7 | 6 | 5 |
Form
The 6-year-old Kitty's Light trained by Christian Williams has a career record of 7 victories, 6 runner-up finishes and 5 third place from 36 races.
Kitty's Light most recently ran at the Aintree Grand National where it finished a solid 5th from the field of 32 horses although it was 10.5 lengths back of the eventual winner I Am Maximus. That run was its best showing in 6 outings since the horse's success in this race last year.
Verdict
The defending champion, with obvious claims for success but with its recent form 7/2 wouldn’t make it a backable prospect for me.
Threeunderthrufive
Odds
The second favourite to win the Bet 365 Gold Cup is the Paul Nicholls-trained Threeunderthrufive at odds of 6/1. Those odds imply that the horse has a 14.3% chance of winning the Bet 365 Gold Cup.
Pedigree
Sire: Shantou (USA)
Dam: Didinas (FR)
Career Record
Race Type | Runs | Wins | 2nds | 3rds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Chase | 13 | 5 | 3 | 0 |
Hurdle | 6 | 4 | 0 | 1 |
NHF | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
Rules Races | 21 | 10 | 4 | 1 |
Form
The 9-year-old gelding has a career record of 10 victories, 4 runner-up finishes and one 3rd finish from 12 races.
Threeunderthrufive most recently at Ascot last February returning to the track after a 63-day break to finish 1 length ahead of runner-up Rapper. It was a nice return to winning ways for a horse which had finished second on its previous two outings.
Verdict
Finished 4th last year and 6.25 lengths back of Kitty's Light, but seems to be running into better form now and is a major contender at 6/1.
Le Milos
Odds
The third favourite to land the Bet 365 Gold Cup is Le Milos for Dan Skelton at odds of 7/1. Those odds suggest the horse has a 12.5% chance of spoiling the Mullins party.
Pedigree
Sire: Shirocco (GER)
Dam: Banjaxed Girl (GB)
Career Record
Race Type | Runs | Wins | 2nds | 3rds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Chase | 11 | 5 | 2 | 2 |
Hurdle | 16 | 2 | 0 | 2 |
Rules Races | 27 | 7 | 2 | 4 |
Form
The 9-year-old Le Milos trained by Dan Skelton has a career record of 7 victories, 2 runner-up finishes and 4 third-place finishes.
The horse most recently ran at Cheltenham in March finishing 13/22 and 22 lengths back of the winner Monmiral. This means the horse is winless in its last 5 races since November 2022 at Newbury.
Verdict
If any team can get a run out of a horse in poor form it’s the Skelton team but I still think this race is beyond even their skillset.
Amirite
Odds
The fourth favourite is Amirite which is currently priced at 8/1 and has an 11.1% chance of success in the Bet 365 Gold Cup is the Jamie Snowden-trained Git Make.
Pedigree
Sire: Sholokhov (IRE)
Dam: Belle Again (IRE)
Career Record
Race Type | Runs | Wins | 2nds | 3rds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Chase | 7 | 1 | 0 | 2 |
Hurdle | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
PTP | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Rules Races | 10 | 2 | 0 | 2 |
Form
The 8-year-old Amirite has a career record of 2 victories and 2 third-place finishes from 10 outings on track.
The horse most recently ran at Leopardstown at the end of December where it finished 5th from the field of 27 and 11.5 lengths back of winner Meetingofthewaters. The horse is winless in 6 outings with his last success coming at Fairyhouse in October 2022.
Verdict
Down in the weights, that could turn the tide in the horse's favour, but I’d still be avoiding punting on Amirite on Saturday.
Minella Cocooner
Odds
Minella Cocooner is also priced at 8/1 for the Bet 365 Gold Cup for WP Mullins which suggests the horse has an 11.1% chance of victory on Saturday.
Pedigree
Sire: Flemensfirth (USA)
Dam: Askanna (IRE)
Career Record
Race Type | Runs | Wins | 2nds | 3rds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Hurdle | 5 | 2 | 3 | 0 |
Chase | 6 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
NHF | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
PTP | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Rules Races | 12 | 4 | 4 | 3 |
Form
The 8-year-old Minella Cocooner is a consistent sort who has a career record of 4 victories, 4 runner-up finishes, 3 third finishes from 12 races.
The horse most recently ran at Fairyhouse earlier this month where the horse finished 3/20 coming 4 lengths back of winner Intense Raffles. That made it 3 races without a win with its last success coming at Navan back in January
Verdict
Carrying close to top weight but I still think another Mullins training masterclass could be on the cards here.
