Last Updated: Sat 14 Nov 2026

Ben Pauling’s Meetmebythesea showed his liking for Cheltenham once more and delivered owner JP McManus with his first victory in the prestigious Paddy Power Gold Cup.Sent off the heavily backed 2-1 favourite on his first run since winning as a novice at the Festival in March, he put in some tremendous leaps on the way round for Harry Cobden.Blueking d’Oroux, having his first run for Dan Skelton, looked the biggest danger after long-time leader Quebecois faded but Meetmebythesea powered away up the hill to win by two and a half lengths to give Cobden a second big victory in two days in the McManus colours.
