2. 2011

Long Run won the race as a 6 year old, the youngest Gold Cup winner for several decades. He was trained by Nicky Henderson and ridden by amateur jockey Sam Waley-Cohen.
3. 2012

Answer: Synchronised

Former Welsh National winner Synchronised beat The Giant Bolster and the previous winner Long Run into 2nd and 3rd. Champion jockey AP McCoy picked up his second Gold Cup win and Jonjo O'Neill won for the first time as a trainer having won the race as a jockey twice himself.
4. 2013

Answer: Bobs Worth

Bobs Worth won by 7 lengths over Sir Des Champs, giving both jockey Barry Geraghty and trainer Nicky Henderson their second Gold Cup wins.
5. 2014

Answer: Lord Windermere

20/1 outsider Lord Windermere came from behind late to win the 2014 race under jockey Davy Russell. Trainer Jim Culloty had previously won the race as a jockey himself three times on Best Mate.
6. 2015

Answer: Coneygree

Coneygree produced an impressive front running performance to win the race and became the first novice chaser to win the race since 1974. He was trained by Mark Bradstock and ridden by Nico de Boineville.
7. 2016

Answer: Don Cossack

Don Cossack was a multiple Grade 1 winner but was yet to win a race at Cheltenham going into the 2016 Gold Cup. He gave trainer Gordon Elliott his first winner in the race, with Bryan Cooper on board.
8. 2017

Answer: Sizing John

Sizing John had mainly campaigned over shorter distances before the 2016-17 season but stayed on and won well over Minella Rocco and Native River in 2nd and 3rd. Robbie Power rode him for trainer Jessica Harrington.
9. 2018

Answer: Native River

Proven stayer Native River benefitted from soft ground in his second attempt at the Gold Cup, beating Might Bite into second. Champion jockey Richard Johnson was on board and trainer Colin Tizzard picked up his first Gold Cup win.
10. 2019

Answer: Al Boum Photo

Trainer Willie Mullins was one of the most successful trainers of the decade when it came to Cheltenham festival, but the Gold Cup up to this point had eluded him. Al Boum Photo changed that, winning under jockey Paul Townend by two and a half lengths over Anibale Fly.
