The Cheltenham Gold Cup sees three previous winners of the race renew rivalries, Imperial Commander who won the race last year is favourite whilst Kauto Star and Denman, who have three Gold Cups between them, are both in the top four in the betting.

Irishman expressed “It’s still incredibly special to me. I’ve had eight months out of the last 10 on

the sidelines but a good week there and it’s all forgotten about, like you’ve never been away. Cheltenham’s the making and breaking of any season. Cheltenham counts. Can’t wait”
