The Gold Cup is one of the biggest races of the year and it will take centre stage at the Cheltenham Festival once again this afternoon.
Rachael Blackmore became the first female jockey ever to win the race last year as she rode A Plus Tard to victory for trainer Henry De Bromhead.
Blackmore is set to take the reins again this year but will face a tough task to go back-to-back, with Galopin Des Champs the huge favourite.
