WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR - CORAL CUP 2024

down

Langer Dan created Coral Cup history by becoming the first horse to win the race twice. The Dan Skelton-trained hurdler returned on the same mark as the previous year and proved a class apart, scoring by three and a half lengths under Harry Skelton. The victory took Langer Dan’s course record to two wins and two seconds from eight starts and boosted Skelton’s impressive record in festival handicaps. Ballyadam and Shanbally Kid filled second and third for Ireland, while the fourth Lucky Place has since franked the form with Ascot and Cheltenham wins.
