Victoria Pendleton will ride Pacha Du Polder on Gold Cup day at the Cheltenham Festival next Friday, it has been confirmed.
The 35-year-old, who won two Olympic gold medals during her career as a professional cyclist, will ride in the St James's Place Foxhunter Chase.
Just over a year ago, Pendleton announced her intention to feature at the championship after her campaign was backed by Betfair.
Pendleton's inclusion was doubtful after she was unseated in a point-to-point at Kingston Blount while riding Supreme Danehill on Saturday.
The Olympian as been unseated twice since taking up racing.
