The market for the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup at the 2026 Cheltenham Festival is based on last year’s running and understandably so given there was no fluke about Inothewayurthinkin knocking the crown off the head of Galopin Des Champs in impressive fashion.
Both will be back for the second round all things being equal, but with Inothewayurthinkin always having possessed a bit of a kink in his jumping, and notably improving all the way through last season, there seems no sense whatsoever in backing him at a general 7/2 now.
Galopin Des Champs will no doubt be the usual imperious force to be reckoned with as the season progresses but isn’t getting any younger and it’s fiendishly hard to regain a Cheltenham Gold Cup crown once it’s been lost.
So, it appears to be a market that is ripe for potential flyers to emerge and with Gold Cup trials beginning to appear on the horizon, with the Betfair Chase, the John Durkan and the Coral Gold Cup all in the next few weeks, there will be some horses who thust themselves into the reckoning.
One such candidate is Haiti Couleurs, who is available at 25/1 each-way with Bet365 and is a 1-star * ante-post selection for the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup for WhichBookie. 20/1 is next best with Ladbrokes and then generally 16/1 elsewhere, and I would recommend at anything 14/1+ as I’d be fairly convinced that he’ll go very close to winning whichever of the Betfair Chase or Coral Gold Cup he runs in next.
Should that noteworthy performance come to fruition later this month then Haiti Couleurs will be clear third favourite for the race I’d imagine, and to me he looks like absolutely the type of horse who will improve to that level. Over the last 18 months, all he has done is improve and when you watch him go through his races it’s very hard to know where his ceiling may lie, if at all.
In winning at Cheltenham’s December meeting, the National Hunt Chase at last season’s Cheltenham Festival and then the Irish National, it was apparent from so far out in each of those races that Haiti Couleurs was simply lolloping along doing a half speed compared to everything else. His jumping is sound and economical, and it’s very hard to know how much more there is left under the bonnet late on, as he simply just gallops on with enough in hand of his rivals to keep them at bay.
There’s the very real prospect that if something is good enough to give him a lead for long enough, then we will see an even higher performance level from him. That is where the Betfair Chase or Coral Gold Cup come in, as it seems eminently possible that he will get that in either.
Having cosily won over hurdles in the Pertemps Qualifier last week, Haiti Couleurs has confirmed that he has improved for another summer and is geared up and ready to emerge as a live contender for Cheltenham Gold Cup reckoning. Taking the 25/1 each-way with Bet365 now seems a no-brainer to me.
As good a renewal of this race as I can remember with valid claims for many runners in here but I’m pleased that GAELIC WARRIOR is here because I think he’s in the form of his life and has the ability to go very close in a Gold Cup.
He’s 8 now but has plenty of racecourse experience and is a battle-hardened horse who has grown up since his Fred Winter defeat back in 2022. His festival form reads 2, 2, 1 and four of his last 5 races he’s posted an RPR on 172 or 174, three of those runs have come at 3 miles or further and the lower rating he received was still in victory.
GAELIC WARRIOR – 1 STAR WIN @ 100/30

The Gold Cup has been remarkably consistent in profile this century. All twenty-five winners were already Grade 1 winners, and seventeen of the last nineteen were rated 164 or higher before their victory. Recent form is key, with only three of the twenty-five failing to finish first or second on their previous start.
Age is another clear guide. No winner aged ten or older this century, and none older than eight since 2016. Irish-trained runners have dominated, winning nine of the last ten renewals, and only two winners returned at bigger than 10/1. Four of the last six favourites have justified their position in the market.
The Gold Cup is run over 3 miles, 2 furlongs and 70 yards on the New Course.
It is a Grade 1 steeplechase and is widely regarded as the most prestigious race in National Hunt racing.
Runners jump 22 fences over the extended three-mile trip.
Yes, it is the feature race of Gold Cup Day and the most anticipated race of the week.
