The Coral Cup is the first handicap on the second day of the 2023 Cheltenham Festival.

There are 10 flights to navigate over 2m5f on the Old Course and this year’s contest – worth £56,270 to connections of the first past the post – looks like it will be a competitive renewal due to the quality of potential runners.

Nicky Henderson is the leading trainer in the history of the Coral Cup and the Seven Barrows handler is likely to boast a number of decent chances.

You can run the rule over our Coral Cup odds on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise all the key details about this year’s renewal can be found below.

Coral Cup 2023 betting

Coral Cup odds are on paddypower.com and prices for the leading contenders can be seen on our snazzy widgets below.

Cesarewitch winner Run For Oscar is the favourite with Paddy Power for the Coral Cup as trainer Charles Byrnes is renowned for a handicap plot.

Camprond is next in the betting after the release of the weights revealed last year’s fourth is rated 2lb lower than 12 months ago.
