2026 Irish Gold Cup Entries
Galopin Des Champs will return to Leopardstown in February, to try and equal the great Florida Pearl's record of four Irish Gold Cup wins. Willie Mullins' star finished third on his reappearance in the Savills Chase, having missed his intended return in the John Durkan after a small set-back.
Affordale Fury continued his excellent seasonal form with a shock victory in the Savills Chase, and he'll bid for a second straight Grade One win at the Dublin Racing Festival. Galopin Des Champs could be joined in the field by stablemate Fact To File, who was last seen finishing sixth in the King George VI Chase at Kempton.
Rebecca Curtis looks set to be represented by Welsh and Irish Grand National winner Haiti Couleurs. Gavin Cromwell sends Inothewayurthinkin back to Leopardstown before the defence of his Gold Cup crown at Cheltenham. Martin Brassil's Fastorslow finished a close second to Galopin Des Champs in this race back in 2024, but was well-beaten when sixth in the Savills Chase over Christmas.
Willie Mullins could also be represented by King George third Gaelic Warrior, top mare Spindleberry, and former British Grand National winner I Am Maximus. Gordon Elliott has entered Firefox, Croke Park and Stellar Story. Monty's Star, Lecky Watson, Three Card Brag and Champ Kiely also feature in the entries.
