Craig Jones 
The Cheltenham Gold Cup confirmed runners are out, and nine horses will go to post on Friday afternoon for the feature race of the entire meeting.
Led by Galopin Des Champs, the current champion who's trying to land the hat trick here, and according to the latest odds, he's a strong favourite to do so.
The big race of the entire meeting, one we all look forward to, and we've got some huge Cheltenham free bets and offers on site, as we countdown to the Gold Cup.
Galopin Des Champs Faces Eight Rivals in Gold Cup
We'll see a mixture of people siding with Galopin Des Champs and those taking him on with Cheltenham day 4 tips and if you decide to take him on, there's plenty of big prices available.
Banbridge looks the main danger, though with questions over his ability to stay, the drying ground will help his chances and take a little away from the demands of this race.
But one horse that does want this to be as strong a test as possible is the horse that's been supplemented recently, and that's Inothewayurthinkin.
He's been installed high up in the market with betting sites and if there's rain, or if they go a quick gallop, he could be picking off the no stayers and coming through the pack.
Corbetts Cross, Monty's Star and Gentlemansgame are amongst the other outsiders who are looking to surprise the favourite.
Cheltenham Gold Cup Latest Odds
Galopin Des Champs is the market leader, he's been at the head of the market since crossing the finishing line in first place last year and has only strengthened in price with this year's performances.
He's the kind of short priced favourite that could attract offers around enhanced odds free bets on the day of the race, with big prices available for new customers, something to definitely look out for if you fancy him.
Electric at the Dublin Racing Festival, he loves this course, loves the test this race brings, and he's unlikely to drift too much from his current short odds.
Banbridge is the popular each way play against him, but he's shortening in the market to reflect that, so maybe Inothewayurthinkin will be the main each way gamble on race day.
It promises to be a cracking Gold Cup and we could see history if Galopin Des Champs lands the hat trick.
