Back Ginny's Destiny Top 4 Finish in 14:20 Cheltenham
Racing... Only Bettor. Watch the latest episode now.
We're going with Let's Go Champ in the Paddy Power Gold Cup that lights up Saturday and as my antepost tip earlier in the week, he's been pretty solid in the betting from the 10/111.00 into 8/19.00.
If you also like the each-way angle on the Sportsbook there are four places.
He's a lightly-raced nine-year-old with a good profile for this and the ground looks about tailor-made for him even with the watering as he's been to spring festivals - both at Punchestown.
He was last seen running over the extended 2m6f in the Galway Plate and while he handled the hustle and bustle of a big field there, his stamina came under pressure and wasn't as strong in the finish, although he appeared to stay the trip over hurdles when running over 3m. So I am still open minded regarding the trip but he certainly has pace for 2m4f.
The obvious angle coming down to today's distance is a big plus and his jumping was excellent when winning a Grade 3 Handicap over the fences at Punchestown last April. He was always on the pace and he was fairly foot perfect throughout.
Off a mark of 141 and just 10-2 with a nice weight, he should put in a good round.
Gowel Road for Nigel Twiston-Davies was another of my antepost tips with the possibility of this 14:55 race cutting up, and in a field of 12, Doyen Quest is fairly short at the top of betting at 7/42.75.
My selection is fit and I much prefer him in opposition and he ran a fine race when second to The Wallpark at Cheltenham's October meeting last time. The Wallpark got a peach of a ride arriving late but the slight nudge up in the weights still makes his consistency worth following.
Today's new trip of 2m4f is well worth exploring and he holds enough Cheltenham form to acknowledge he goes well here. He finished sixth in the Pertemps Final at the Festival last March, but similar to Let's Go Champ, while he stays, he could be a little better over 2m4f.
Expect him to be up with the pace and he has winning form on good and good to soft.
