Fear not. You can catch all of our top tips right here.
MOHAAYED (2.10) won the County Hurdle a couple of years ago and trainer Dan Skelton is looking for his fourth win in five years. He’s had a breathing op and should run well. Pair him in an each-way double with LISP (4.50) who has been laid out for this by Alan King and ran well in a decent race at Doncaster last time out.
PRESENTING PERCY (3.30) was sent off favourite for the Gold Cup last year when he went lame during the race and his saddle slipped — not ideal! He has been brought along quietly since then and wasn’t beaten far by Delta Work last time. He could easily hit the frame granted better luck.
AL BOUM PHOTO (3.30) can become the first back-to-back Gold Cup winner since Best Mate. Trainer Willie Mullins has trodden exactly the same road as 12 months ago with just one run before heading here. He looked sharp and smart when scoring at Tramore and it’s hard to forget how comfortably he took this race last year.
DELTA WORK (3.30) has been brought along steadily for this and can make Gordon Elliott’s brilliant week even better.
THYME HILL (2.50) is a Grade 1 winner and will relish this stamina test. He’s looked all class this novice season and remains unbeaten over hurdles.
ARAMON (2.10) will relish the drying ground at Cheltenham. He has graded form to his name and looks on a tempting mark to strike here for Irish maestro Willie Mullins.
