• Plus our experts' best bets of the day

The greatest show on turf reaches its finale with Gold Cup day at the Cheltenham Festival and our team of experts have got the best insight and tips.

This week's guest, Brendan Duke, joins hot off the Racing...Only Bettor and Weighed In panel to share his thoughts as a racing and punting aficionado.

Jerry McGrath continues to throw in curve balls from his racing contacts but it is the favourites that draw the team in for Gold Cup Day in this penultimate episode of Cheltenham...Only Bettor.

Triumph Hurdle

The favourite in Irish-dominated Triumph Lossiemouth's form is, according to Brendan, "so solid". He also likes Comfort Zone who was unlucky at the Dublin Racing Festival. Blood Destiny, currently second in the market, is a very likeable horse but Brendan doesn't fancy her here.

Daryl disagrees: "Blood Destiny's stamina will be no problem at all for this course. I don't see a lot wrong with him. It's not often you hear Willie Mullins describe a horse as 'a fair tool' but that's what he said about Blood Destiny. I would have Lossiemouth over her but I don't think [Lossiemouth] has proved her stamina."

Jerry likes the outsider Zenta: "She's a filly coming in under the radar... I'm not expecting her to beat the big two in the market. But she could sneak into the money. She's not a bad each-way shout at 20/1."

County Hurdle

Jerry thinks Pembroke is a very interesting horse: "I think he could be mapped out for this race... He doesn't necessarily need rain. I wouldn't worry too much about it."

Brendan likes Gin Coco: "He's totally unexposed, wants good ground... I'd expect him to get into the race, off a competitive mark, with the potential to improved. I thought he was the most likely winner."

Daryl said: "I don't know if Sharjah will run in this. But his course form catches the eye... He's a class act... A bit of spring ground, and the hustle and bustle of a handicap, will suit him. If he turns up then I would be very keen on him at 10/1. With the Non-Runner Money-Back offer you can take your chance."

Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle

"The favourite Corbett's Cross was really impressive beating Found A Fifty at Naas the other day," said Daryl. "He's definitely a talented horse... He's got speed and you do need speed to win an Albert Bartlett. You'd want to keep him on side wherever he goes.

"I'm still keep faith with Hidden Valley Lake at 7/1 on the Betfair Sportsbook."

Both Jerry and Brendan, meanwhile, are going for Absolute Notions who may have gone under the radar at 10/1.

Brendan said: "He's such a dour stayer... He has a really good attitude... I think he'll run here and run well. But I was very impressed with Corbett's Cross too at Naas."

Jerry also likes Three Card Brag: "I think he'll go for this race. I do think Absolute Notions is overpriced in a wide open race."

Gold Cup

The race of the week looks Irish-dominated but the team started with the British contenders.

Jerry said: "I was very impressed with Bravemensgame at Kempton but I can't get away from the favourite Galopin Des Champs." He went on to say that if Shishkin goes to Cheltenham he will run in the Ryanair Chase.

Daryl agreed: "Galopin Des Champs has really impressed me. He has stayed well enough over hurdles. I don't really see any chinks in his armour. He has a massive chance at the top of the market.

If any horse can beat the favourite who would it be?

"Bravemansgame is a solid each-way bet."

Brendan wanted to mention an 8/1 chance: "Stattler is made for staying trips. His jumping got better as last season progressed... At the price, he'd be my tentative each-way selection."

Fox Hunters Chase

Jerry thinks Secret Investor has a good chance and is a sold each-way bet.

However, he added: "If I had to back one in this race it would be Winged Leader. He's probably been targetted for this race... He has unfinished business after finishing second lasy year.

Daryl thinks Chriss Dream is interesting in this contest but says he doesn't have a strong opinion.

Mares Chase

Daryl said of Impervious: "She is hard to knock. She's got a bright turn of foot, stays the trip and ground doesn't seem to be a problem.

He was less confident about the much-fancied Allegories De Vassy:

"She's one I'm considering laying. She jumps out to the right and won't get away with that here."

Brendan likes Magic Daze: "I'm inclined to think she will run. She was way too keen in Arkle last year but has been better this year. She gave a revelation of an effort at Naas last time, an immaculate round of jumping... I can't get over the disparity in price between her at 10/1 and Impervious 11/8."

Martin Pipe

The final race of the Festival is often, as Megan Nicholls says, "total carnage" but Daryl has found one at a big price that he thinks could come good.

He said: "An Epic Song is the horse that interests me at 80/1... He caught me eye on his seasonal return at Fairyhouse. He was just never put in the race at all and it screamed prep run for something else... He could have plenty more to come. He's only six and five and six-year-olds are what you want to look out for.

"The other one was Might I at 10/1... He's second season hurdler and I think he'll go very well. "

Jerry agreed about Might I: "He hasn't fulfilled his potential and I think there's a big race in him."
