Galopin Des Champs will be sent off favourite for the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup on Friday thanks to impressive victories in the John Durkan Memorial Chase at Punchestown and the Paddy Power Irish Gold Cup.
Willie Mullins’ charge has been skinny odds for much of the season despite last year’s champion A Plus Tard, King George winner Bravemansgame and 2021 winner Minella Indo being among his 12 rivals.
