- On Friday, trainer Willie Mullins confirmed Galopin Des Champs will miss this year's Cheltenham Festival and is ruled out for the rest of the season.
- After working very well on Thursday morning, Galopin Des Champs wasn’t right on Friday morning, prompting concern from the training team ahead of next Friday’s Gold Cup checks.
- Having finished third on both outings this campaign and second last year to Inothewayurthinkin, Galopin Des Champs, a 5/1, won the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2023 and 2024.
- Betting markets reacted as bookmakers moved Fact To File and Gaelic Warrior to joint-favourites at 7/2, with Gaelic Warrior shortened by some firms to 4/1 after Galopin Des Champs withdrew.
- Cheltenham Festival kicks off next week on Tuesday, 10 March, with the Gold Cup the fifth race on Friday, 13 March; the announcement came shortly after jockey Paul Townend backed Galopin Des Champs to create further history.
