Cheltenham Races don't come any bigger than the Gold Cup

Gold Cup winners have, repeatedly at Cheltenham racing events, won or come second at previous festivals. Good Cheltenham form is invaluable in that respect. However, Cheltenham Festival history suggests horses who placed second or third in the previous year are usually not worth backing. Only The Fellow and Bregawn have won a Cheltenham Gold Cup after placing the year before.

Cheltenham horse races of the past would indicate that a horse that has been lightly raced will usually win. Most past winners of recent times will race no more than three times in a season before the Gold Cup race.
