Harry Redknapp’s horse, Jukebox Man, has been officially confirmed to compete in the prestigious 2026 Cheltenham Gold Cup. This race will take place on Friday and features a strong field of eleven horses.
Recent Success
Jukebox Man gained significant recognition after winning the King George VI Chase at Kempton Park on December 26. This victory boosts his confidence as he aims to replicate this success at the Cheltenham Festival.
Top Competitors
In the highly anticipated race, several formidable contenders will also be vying for victory:
- Inothewayurthinkin: Trained by Gavin Cromwell, he seeks to win the Gold Cup for a second consecutive year.
- Gaelic Warrior: Aimed for a fifth victory by renowned Irish trainer Willie Mullins. He will be ridden by Paul Townend.
- Jango Baie: A former winner of the Arkle Chase, trained by Nicky Henderson and ridden by Nico de Boinville.
Notable Exclusions
Willie Mullins had hoped to include his son, Patrick, as the rider for Gaelic Warrior. However, Townend’s selection for this key role leaves Patrick without a mount for this race.
