Final Paddy Power Gold Cup Runners Down To 15 For Cheltenham November Meeting Highlight<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We are down to 15 Paddy Power Gold Cup runners<\/strong> ahead of Saturday’s big Cheltenham November Meeting race. With the final entries now announced.<\/p>\n

Like most years, the market with the best horse racing betting sites<\/a> is a tight one, with many chances according to the layers.<\/p>\n

These include last year’s third Il Ridoto, who is back rated 6lbs lower. And also, the 2023 fourth Fugitif, who returns off a pound lower mark.<\/p>\n

This pair, however, are both behind the likely Paddy Power Gold Cup<\/a> favourite – Ginny’s Destiny, the mount of Harry Cobden.<\/p>\n

Harry Cobden Looking Forward To Ginny’s Destiny Ride
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Last year’s British champion jumps jockey Harry Cobden landed the Paddy Power Gold Cup last year and in Ginny’s Destiny<\/strong> he’s got an excellent chance of adding to that.<\/p>\n

Cobden survived a last fence blunder on Stage Star to win the November Meeting showpiece for the first time in 2023 and he’s gone on record recently as saying “I really wouldn’t want to ride any other horse”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Ginny’s Destiny gets in off a mark of 155, which is also exactly the same rating as Stage Star last year and comes here with top course form.<\/p>\n

His last runs at Prestbury Park read 1-1-1-2 – including winning at this meeting 12 months ago (cavani.co.uk Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase, which was run on the Sunday.<\/p>\n

Since then this Paul Nicholls-trained 8 year-old has run second to Grey Dawning in the Turners Novices’ Chase at the Cheltenham Festival (watch below). Plus was last seen taking silver behind Il Etait Temps at Aintree in the Manifesto Novices’ Chase.<\/p>\n

Nicholls will be looking for his fourth Paddy Power Gold Cup win – having also won the race in 2014 (Caid Du Berlais) and 2012 (Al Ferof).<\/p>\n
