727741821.jpgThere were no surprise withdrawals at the latest confirmation stage for Friday's Gold Cup at the Cheltenham Festival.

The favourite Kauto Star stands his ground alongside other leading fancies Exotic Dancer and The Listener.

Paul Nicholls' Kauto Star has dominated the Betfair market throughout the winter and is currently trading at 2.9 ahead of Exotic Dancer on 6.4. The Listener is next best at 10 with State of Play on 13.

Both Our Vic and Racing Demon have been declared despite connections suggesting they have other targets at the Festival.

In addition to Kauto Star, Somerset trainer Nicholls also has My Will, plus a third string to his bow in Neptune Collonges.

Following In Compliance's withdrawal, Irish trainer Michael O'Brien has left in last year's Gold Cup third Forget The Past.
