Get Galopin Des Champs at 45/1 to win the Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown on Paddy Power

It's the Dublin Racing Festival at Leopardstown on Saturday and Sunday with trainer Willie Mullins set for a haul of winners including on the Irish Gold Cup on Saturday.

And Paddy Power have boosted the odds for new customers to back Galopin Des Champs, the odds-on favourite to win at 45/1!

Galopin Des Champs was a surprising second place at Punchestown's Gold Cup in April 2023, but it was a lot to ask having won incredibly well a month prior in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

He was then unsuited to the 2m3f trip, again at Punchestown on seasonal reappearance but still went well to come a close third.

But it was the manner in which he won here in December at the Christmas Festival that's got him back to elite status, returning to the 3m winning by 23 lengths to Gerri Colombe.

That suggests he's back to his best and can go strongly again here and reverse those placings against Fastorslow.
