On Friday the Cheltenham Festival 2015 comes to a close but the day also features the highlight of the festival, the Gold Cup.

The Gold Cup race will be taking place at 3:20pm GMT on Friday and will feature 18 riders competing for the prestigious first place. There has been a lot of discussion around the race as it is Tony McCoy’s final race before retirement and he has stated that he hopes to win the Gold Cup one more time.

Unfortunately for McCoy at Winner Sport the favourite to win the race is Silviniaco Conti, trained by Paul Nicholls with Noel Fehily in the saddle, with odds of 3/1. Silviniaco Conti is well ahead of the field, behind him are Djakadam and Many Clouds both at 8/1 and Holywell and Road to Riches both at 9/1.

Of course the Gold Cup isn’t the only race of the day and other highlights include the Grand Annual Chase where Ned Buntline is favourite to win with odds of 5/1 and the Foxhunter Steeple Chase where Paint the Clouds is favourite to win with odds of 7/2.
