Gold Cup (20 Jun 2024)
- The Gold Cup at Royal Ascot is the only race to consider, as it has provided three of the last five winners and six of the last 10 placed horses - from just 19 runners - over the same period.
- Notable recent winners include STRADIVARIUS (2019 and 2020) and KYPRIOS (2022). The last-named is the hot favourite to win the Goodwood Cup again in 2024 having missed last year’s race due to injury.
- The 2024 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot was regained by KYPRIOS, who beat TRAWLERMAN and SWEET WILLIAM into second and third, respectively. COLTRANE was fifth.
