The Paddy Power Gold Cup is one of the standout fixtures of the National Hunt season, taking place during Cheltenham’s November Meeting at Cheltenham Racecourse. It marks the first major handicap chase of the jumps calendar and is often seen as an early-season test for potential Cheltenham Festival contenders.
First run in 1960, the race was originally known as the Mackeson Gold Cup and has since carried various sponsor titles, including Murphy’s, Thomas Pink, and BetVictor, before Paddy Power’s return as title sponsor. Despite its name changes, the race has always retained its prestige and reputation for high-quality, competitive action.
Run over a distance of 2 miles, 4½ furlongs (4,124 metres), the Paddy Power Gold Cup challenges runners with 16 fences around the demanding Old Course at Cheltenham. The combination of sharp turns, undulating ground, and the famous Cheltenham Hill ensures only the most versatile chasers prevail.
The race holds Grade 3 status, attracting top-class horses from leading stables across Britain and Ireland. Many past winners have gone on to achieve further success later in the season, with some even landing the coveted Cheltenham Gold Cup double.
Notable Winners
- Fortria – winner of the inaugural running in 1960 and again in 1962.
- Cyfor Malta – a two-time winner (1998 & 2002), trained by Martin Pipe.
- Al Ferof – the 2012 winner, trained by Paul Nicholls, later a top open-company contender.
- Imperial Commander – triumphed in 2008 before going on to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2010.
