The Gold Cup is the Blue Riband event for stayers on the Flat and takes pride of place at the heart of the biggest race on the Royal Ascot schedule.

It dates all the way back to 1807 and is a proper test of stamina and speed over 2m4f. Some of the biggest names to have graced the game are on the honours board and the latest renewal boasts a record prize pot worth £600,000.

Gold Cup 2023 betting

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

Coltrane is the favourite with Paddy Power for the Gold Cup after a career-best performance when landing the Sagaro Stakes at Ascot in early May.

St Leger hero Eldar Eldarov is next in the early betting following an encouraging seasonal reappearance in the Yorkshire Cup and with the form over his Doncaster Classic win looking hot.
