The winner of this race in 2024, Teahupoo is back and looking to reclaim his crown after finishing second behind Bob Olinger twelve months ago.
The last time he finished outside the top 3 in a race was way back in April 2023, and it's only happened 3 times across his entire career of 21 runs.
His record now reads: 21 runs, 14 victories, 3 seconds and a third. His official rating of 165 is the highest in the race.
He comes into this Cheltenham Festival off the back of three straight wins. The most impressive of those - and his joint highest Racing Post Rating for any run in his career so far - was last time out when he beat Bob Olinger by 7 lengths at Leopardstown, with Ballyburn another 7 lengths behind in a distant third despite having been sent off as favourite.
He's an extremely likeable horse who is clever, jumps well and has shown versatility tactically.
His trainer Gordon Elliott has taken the same approach as in previous years and given him a decent break after his last run to freshen him up and make sure he is seen at his best today.
He's our NAP of the day at a very attractive price and this Sky Bet sign up offer is even better - to win the 50/1 payout, he just needs to finish in the Top 3!
