Cheltenham Festival's grand finale features Gold Cup showdown and expert picks
The Cheltenham Festival reaches its climax on Friday with the fourth and final day of racing. Seven races are set to take place at Prestbury Park, including three Grade 1 contests. Among them, the Gold Cup stands out as the day's main attraction.
A total of seven races will run throughout the afternoon, with three featuring maximum fields of 24 horses. Expert tipster Colm Doyle has highlighted three key picks for the day's action.
In the opening 1.20 race, Selma De Vary is favoured at odds of 7/2. The four-year-old filly remains a strong contender despite a recent minor setback. Later, at 4.00, The Jukebox Man lines up as the selection in the Gold Cup, priced at the same 7/2. The horse arrives unbeaten over fences and is widely regarded as a leading contender. The final selection comes in the 5.20 race, where East India Express is backed at 8/1. The day's racing promises competitive action, with the Gold Cup serving as the centrepiece of the festival's closing events.
The final day of the Cheltenham Festival will see The Jukebox Man and Selma De Vary among the top picks for their respective races. With large fields and high-stakes contests, the event concludes with some of the most anticipated racing of the week. Punters and spectators alike will watch closely as the outcomes unfold.
