Galopin Des Champs next race: Third time lucky in the Punchestown Gold Cup?

Two-time Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Galopin Des Champs will be aiming to return to winning ways at the Punchestown Festival.

A third Cheltenham Gold Cup win wasn't to be in 2025 for Willie Mullins' star but it was still a run that will provide hope that he can return to his best going forward.

Inothewayurthinkin ran out an impressive winner on the day, a performance that initially catapulted him into Grand National favouritism but he has since been taken out of the race. His trainer, Gavin Cromwell has suggested the Punchestown Festival is now on the agenda for his charge.

The Punchestown Gold Cup has been used as the end point for his season previously and connections will be hoping that he can finally get his head in front in the race after finishing behind Fastorslow on two occasions.

A rematch against his Cheltenham conqueror Inothewayurthinkin is looking likely and he may also take on Banbridge and when they go to post on April 30th.
