Cheltenham revellers step out in thigh-skimming hemlines and showstopping fascinators at

It’s Gold Cup day at Cheltenham – and eager revellers were determined to go all out, donning extravagant headgear and heeled boots to witness the festival’s spectacular grand finale.

Alongside classic spectator attire – including neutral macs, check suits and wide-brimmed fedoras galore, there were plenty of racegoers determined to get themselves noticed in the style stakes. 

The last day of the four-day race meet, which originated in 1860, saw one male spectator in a dazzling gold suit, clearly a nod to the famous Gold Cup that will be handed out later today. 

Not to be outdone, several ladies commanded attention in daring thigh-high hemlines and vibrant prints as they arrived at the racecourse in Gloucestershire.

Fur and tweed were the order of the day for many, as revellers opted for chic suits and fur-lined coats to keep out the early Spring chill. 

When it came to headwear, there was a sea of stylish trilby hats coming through the festival’s doors, with others opting for striking feathered fascinators. 

Many racegoers opted to brave the cold for the event, donning thigh-skimming mini skirts for the big day out, while others plumped for the trouser suit, in bold patterns, in a bid to marry style with comfort.

Others made a statement in tweed ensembles, embracing the country chic look that’s been the star of the show at this year’s festival.

It comes after a supercomputer predicted which horse will win the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2025 ahead of the race taking place. 

The festival has delivered drama all the way through the week, with unfancied outsider Golden Ace winning the Champion Hurdle on Tuesday ahead of favourites Constitution Hill and State Man who both fell out the race. 

But the supercomputer’s analysis has a different suggestion for the highly-anticipated Gold Cup, predicting a number of favourites to be in contention for the trophy. 

Galopin Des Champs – who is trained by Willie Mullins – will seek a third successive total in the festival’s top race. 

Should he take home the cup, it would mark only the third time in history that this feat would be achieved. 

Galopin Des Champs is looking to emulate the successes of Best Mate from 2002 to 2004 and Arkle from 1964 to 1966. 

A supercomputer powered by bet365 has used data going all the way back to 1990 to determine the winner of the race.

An algorithm then attributes a score of between 1 and -1 depending on how well each horse matches the winning characteristics.

The computer gave Galopin des Champs a similarity score of 0.807 – which gives him a 17.5% chance of winning the Gold Cup for a third year in a row. 

Should the favourite win, he would become the first ever horse to notch a hat-trick of wins at the Gold Cup. 

Others with a strong chance according to the supercomputer includes the likes of Banbridge, Monty’s Star, and Corbetts Cross.

Former jockey Aidan Coleman also backs Galopin Des Champs to create history. He said: ‘Galopin Des Champs is by far the best horse in the race. I think he should be 1-10, I really do!

‘You’re pretty much backing him to jump around, which isn’t always straight forward but if he does that, he’ll win.’
