He&rsquo;s being aimed at the Gold Cup in three weeks. Sounds like a logical next step. The data says it&rsquo;s anything but.</p> <p>No horse has completed the King George–Gold Cup double in the same season since Long Run in 2011. That&rsquo;s fifteen years of failure.</p> <h2 id="the-numbers-are-brutal">The Numbers Are Brutal</h2> <p>We pulled every King George winner since 2003 and tracked what happened when they turned up at Cheltenham in March. The results are grim.</p>Klub De Reve Wins Dovecote — But History Says Steady Onhttps://theracelab.co.uk/news/2026-02-22-dovecote-winners-cheltenham-record/Sun, 22 Feb 2026 17:00:00 +0000https://theracelab.co.uk/news/2026-02-22-dovecote-winners-cheltenham-record/<p>Klub De Reve put in a tidy performance to win Saturday&rsquo;s Dovecote Novices&rsquo; Hurdle at Kempton, beating Kocktail Bleu by three lengths with the well-backed Mustang Du Breuil back in third. Harry Derham&rsquo;s horse has improved with every run this season and the step up to Grade 2 level didn&rsquo;t faze him at all.</p> <p>Bookmakers trimmed him into around 12/1 for the Supreme. On Racing Post comments, he&rsquo;s already being talked up as a live outsider. And look, he might be. But before anyone gets carried away, we pulled the Dovecote form since 2012 and the Festival record of its winners is, well, not great.</p>Kempton Race Previews — Saturday 21 February
