Two-time Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Paul Townend is hoping he can replicate history and take home the biggest prize in jumps racing again at this month’s festival.
The jockey will ride Galopin Des Champs in the prestigious race on St Patrick’s Day and declared they have “unfinished business” after the horse dramatically fell at the final fence during the Turners Novices' Chase last year.
The Cork man said the weeks before Cheltenham is when he feels the pressure because during the festival it’s “too late” and added: “the decisions are made and it’s time to perform.”
