Gaelic Warrior leaves Fact To File and the rest in his wake at Punchestown
By Racing TV
Last Updated: Wed 29 Apr 2026
Gaelic Warrior confirmed his status as this season’s elite staying chaser as he added the Ladbrokes Punchestown Gold Cup to his Cheltenham title with another brilliant performance.
The Willie Mullins-trained eight-year-old travelled smoothly throughout, with the 5-6 favourite cantering over market rival and stablemate Fact To File three out before Paul Townend asked him to go on with two to jump.
He duly responded and pulled effortlessly clear, putting the race to bed very quickly and coasting home by 26 lengths from Fact To File, who had tried to do it the hard way in front.
