Ruby Walsh has tipped Galopin Des Champs to live up to his billing and win the Cheltenham Gold Cup next week.
Galopin Des Champs has been in fine form this year, earning himself the favourite tag going into the historic race, with Paddy Power giving him odds of 6/4 to cross the line first.
The favourite does not always win at Cheltenham, but Walsh expects Galopin Des Champs to hold his nerve, and has admitted he would love to have ridden him if he was still racing.
'If you’re giving me a choice of which one I would ride, I would ride Galopin Des Champs, all day, every day. I think he’s tailor-made for it, and I think he will win,' Walsh told "Paddy Power's Cheltenham Preview Night.
Walsh appeared confident with his pick, but is intrigued to see how the race plays out for the chasing pack as they look to push Galopin Des Champs to the finish line.
