The Irish Gold Cup headlines the opening day of racing at the Dublin Racing Festival. This prestigious Grade One has been won by many of Ireland's finest chasers and it's the two-time defending champion who dominates the betting for this year's renewal.

Let's take a look through the latest Irish Gold Cup betting and run through the headline entries.

2025 Irish Gold Cup Entries

For the third time this season, Galopin Des Champs and Fact To File will go head-to-head. Fact To File got the better of his stablemate when winning the John Durkan in November, but Galopin Des Champs reversed that form in the Savills' Chase and will attempt to preserve his perfect record over fences here at Leopardstown.

Sitting a distant third in the market we find Embassy Gardens, who returned to action with a victory in the New Year's Day Chase at Tramore. Willie Mullins has handed further entries to Grangeclare West, I Am Maximus and Minella Cocooner.

Monty's Star finished second to Embassy Gardens on his comeback run at Tramore and could step back up into Grade One company. Gordon Elliott will be hoping to see Gold Cup runner-up Gerri Colombe produce an improved performance following his poor reappearance at Down Royal. Mouse Morris' Gentlemansgame - third behind the two market leaders in the Savills Chase - could also carry the Robcour colours into the feature of the Dublin Racing Festival.

Other potential runners include former King George winner Hewick, Gavin Cromwell's Inothewayurthinkin, Gordon Elliott's 11-year-old Conflated, and Affordale Fury for Noel Meade.
