Odds Subject to Change
Jagwar (5.50) sits at the head of the betting after strong early-season form. The improving chaser has shown a solid mix of pace and jumping accuracy, ideal for a race that rewards rhythm and balance. His ability to handle varying ground conditions has kept him prominent in ante-post lists throughout the build-up.Il Ridoto (7.50) is one of the most reliable handicappers in training and thrives around Cheltenham. Paul Nicholls' charge has posted multiple placed efforts at the course, including in this meeting, and remains a consistent factor in high-class handicap betting markets. His 7.50 quote reflects that durability and his proven record when fresh.
Panic Attack (11.00) adds depth and variation to the market as one of the more versatile entrants. Her combination of hurdle and chase experience makes her adaptable to different race tempos, and the mare's stamina profile suits a true-run Gold Cup.
Thecompanysergeant (11.00) and Coming Up Easy (13.00) are among the upwardly mobile entries attracting interest at mid-range prices. Both fit the statistical pattern of lightly raced six- or seven-year-olds who peak in the late autumn handicaps. Their respective profiles suggest improvement potential rather than exposed form - a quality often rewarded in this race.
A dense group follows between 13.00 and 17.00 on the Bet365 board. Ginny's Destiny (13.00) and The Jukebox Man (13.00) transition from novice company, while Hitman (17.00) and Master Chewy (17.00) bring higher-grade experience and established course records. Conyers Hill (17.00) and Riskintheground (17.00) round out that bracket, both offering proven stamina and consistency on varied surfaces.
The outer market offers a mix of seasoned quality and speculative angles. Ga Law (26.00), winner of the 2022 edition, is back for another tilt, while Protektorat (29.00) provides class depth as a past Grade 1 winner dropping into handicap company. Grandeur D'Ame (34.00), Issar D'Airy (34.00) and Petit Tonnerre (34.00) represent lively longshots that could shorten should the ground or declarations shift closer to race day.
The Paddy Power Gold Cup always produces a fluid market - early value often recalibrates as ground conditions and confirmed weights emerge in the days leading up. With proven Cheltenham specialists clashing with developing handicappers, the 2025 renewal once again delivers one of the most balanced betting fields of the season.
