When is the Ascot Gold Cup 2024? Odds, tips and previous winners

The Ascot Gold Cup is the key race of the five-day Royal Ascot meeting and the most coveted prize of all for the best stayers on the Flat.

Courage Mon Ami won 12 months ago for the John & Thady Gosden yard in the hands of Frankie Dettori, but a setback means he will miss the defence of his crown.

Instead, the 2022 winner Kyprios - who missed last year's race - is set to go off as the hot favourite for trainer Aidan O'Brien.

Ascot Gold Cup 2024 Odds

Kyprios, the winner in 2022, is 1/1 to regain the crown for trainer Aidan O'Brien having missed the race last summer.

The Irish trainer has won the Ascot Gold Cup a record eight times and could also count on the likes of 16/1 Continuous and 20/1 Tower Of London.

Willie Mullins, now the champion jumps trainer in both Ireland and Britain, has yet to win this race but could saddle 8/1 Vauban and/or 33/1 Absurde.

Gregory, winner of the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot last summer, is 5/1 for John & Thady Gosden, who could also look to 16/1 Sweet William.

Coltrane, a course and distance winner and last year's runner-up, is 16/1 and won at Ascot in May for trainer Andrew Balding.

Caius Chorister, priced at 16/1, was a head behind in that Sagaro Stakes and could have this race as his target for trainer David Menuisier.
