When is the 2021 Cheltenham Gold Cup?
Cheltenham Friday 19th March 3.30pm
Magners Cheltenham Gold Cup (Grade 1) (5yo+)
Distance: 3 miles 2 furlongs
Weights: 11st 8lbs (5yo), 11st 10lb (6yo+), 7lb allowance for mares
The main race on day four is the big one – The Cheltenham Gold Cup, or to give it it’s full title the Magners Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase, a grade one chase over three miles and two and a half furlongs of the course, with 22 fences to be jumped.
It is the most prestigious of all national hunt racing events and is sometimes referred to as the Blue Ribbon of jump racing. It’s roll of honour features names such as Arkle, Best Mate, Golden Miller and Kauto Star – without a doubt, this race is a true test for the very best chasers.
A key attribute is the ability to jump fluently. Any horses that are prone to making errors at the fences are sure to get found out. Tactical race speed is important, as the Gold Cup is usually run at a quicker pace than most other chases. Stamina to see out the race distance, and the uphill finish are also very very important on this undulating track at Cheltenham.

The leading contenders for the 2021 Cheltenham Gold Cup are:
AL BOUM PHOTO – Winner in 2019 and 2020, won his third New Years Day Savills Chase in some style at Tramore and will next be seen in the Cheltenham feature.
A PLUS TARD – Won the novices handicap chase at the 2019 festival and was 3rd in the Ryanair last year. Beat a strong field in the Savills Chase at Leopardstown in December.
MINELLA INDO – Second behind CHAMP in the RSA Chase last year and began this season with Graded wins at Navan and Wexford. Fell when travelling well in the Savills Chase at Leopardstown.
SANTINI – Just a neck behind AL BOUM PHOTO in 2020 and was staying on well when fourth in the King George
CHAMP – Won the RSA Chase last year and at time of writing has been off since.
FRODON – Won the King George at Kempton on Boxing Day under a tactical ride from Bryony Frost, dictating the pace and keeping on well to the line.
What’s Keith’s Cheltenham Gold Cup Tips for 2021?
FRODON is unlikely to get things his own way on the front end and may just give up if headed. CHAMP is going to have an each way shout if Nicky Henderson manages to find a prep race. SANTINI I’m not sure about, despite that excellent run behind AL BOUM PHOTO last year he hasn’t been convincing since. MINELLA INDO is a nice type with a good overall profile despite that fall at Leopardstown. AL BOUM PHOTO is again worthy of the favourites tag but my ante-post selection at this stage is A PLUS TARD each-way who is stronger with every run and shaped up like this extra 2 furlongs will suit him down to the ground.

Here is what Keith said about the 2020 Cheltenham Gold Cup:
This is an exciting renewal of the greatest race in the jumps calendar and you will hear plenty of pundits offering conflicting opinions about what will and won't win, and that is exactly as it should be.
I have to start somewhere with my analysis so here goes, last years talking horse KEMBOY hasn't shown enough in his races this year to be considered. CLAN DES OBEAUX was better than ever at Kempton and a repeat of that puts him bang there in this. My worry about LOSTINTRANSLATION is that whatever was bothering him in the King George rears it's ugly head again and for that reason he is out. There is a lot to like about the way DELTA WORK won the Irish Gold Cup and if it comes to a battle he won't give up. You can't ignore the claims of SANTINI and if the going turns up soft he has to have a a shout. Finally last year's hero AL BOUM PHOTO comes under the spotlight he has been put in as ante-post favourite and as such has a favourites chance but I am not convinced he can repeat the feat against this opposition.
My selection for the 2020 Cheltenham Gold Cup is: CLAN DES OBEAUX 8/1 each way (NRNB).
On the day a mistake by CLAN DES OBEAUX three fences from home cost him his chance in the Gold Cup

Keith Bond is our resident pro tipster here at FRT Towers. Keith lives and breathes horse racing, having begun his love of horse racing over 40 years ago with a part time job at Catterick Racecourse, as one of three fourteen year-olds looking after two jumps and a hurdle.
Over the years, Keith has been a regular at the northern tracks attending countless race meetings and building up a network of contacts, and a portfolio of systems and strategies.
He was one of the co-founders of Free Racing Tips all the way back in 2008, and his free tips are now backed by more than seventy thousand FRT members every single day.
“Thanks Keith – It’s great to be part of an amazing group of people all after the same thing, passing on tips to beat the bookies”
Colin Parkinson, Harrow.
The FRT community love Keith’s attention to detail, knowledge of past races, and ability to pick horses...
“You offer some great tips, some fantastic outsiders tipped up as well. Most tipsters just put up favourites. Well done and keep up the good work”
John Woolley, Stockport
