The Gold Cup is the biggest race of the week at Royal Ascot and one of the most prestigious prizes on the Flat.
The Blue Riband of the staying division dates back to 1807 and provides the runners and riders with a proper test of stamina and speed. It has been won by some of the greatest names to have graced the game and the latest edition boasts a record pot worth £650,000.
Courage Mon Ami made the most of Kyprios’ absence from last season’s renewal to bag the top prize, but the reigning champion is unable to defend his crown due to injury as Aidan O’Brien’s super stayer bids to reclaim his place at the top of the tree.
You can run the rule over our Gold 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.
