The Cheltenham Gold Cup was previewed a couple of weeks ago and nothing has really altered apart from the going. Kauto Star is the best horse in the field and should win. However, as we have already seen this week the fences have to be jumped. I will be looking for a eachway bet. Beef…

If the real Our Vic turns up he should just about win The Cheltenham Ryanair Chase. The obvious dangers are Monets Garden, Taranis and Racing Demon as the betting suggests. Hi Cloy could spring a surprise for Ireland, but I am going to stay with Our Vic and hope it gives his owner David Johnson…
