Coral Cup 2025 trends and stats for Cheltenham 2.40 on Wednesday

No Langer Dan, no party.

Langer Dan wins the Coral Cup at Cheltenham

The Coral Cup is one of the big handicap races at the Cheltenham Festival.

Langer Dan became the first ever dual winner of the Coral Cup when scooting to victory in last year’s renewal, but the handicapper has not relented this time so the Dan Skelton-trained horse is not back for the hat-trick attempt.

The Skelton team instead pin their hopes on the lightly-raced Be Aware… but can he follow in the hoofsteps of his famous stablemate.

Coral Cup odds can be found on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise key historical trends from the last 10 renewals and a tip based off the big-race stats are below.
