Cheltenham Tips Day 4: Back Galopin Des Champs To Win The Gold Cup

The Gold Cup is the highlight at Cheltenham on Frriday and @TwoPoundPunt returns for Day 4 and  has provided us with a 1416/1 each-way Yankee that you can read all about below. 

14:10 - County Hurdle - Pembroke - 6/1

A promising type who is trained by Dan Skelton. He has experience at this track and a drop in trip here me well be in favour. This is his first time in handicap company but he looks a good price here to land the County Hurdle. 

14:50 - Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle - Hidden Valley Lake - 8/1

Racheal Blackmore has been riding well over the first three days and she can land another winner with Hidden Valley Lake on Friday. A winner of two hurdle races at 2m 3f and 3m, Hidden Valley Lake lost little in defeat last time out under a penalty and with Henry De Bromhead's horses running to a high level this week, I think this one should go close. 

15:30 - Gold Cup - Galopin Des Champs

I think Galopin Des Champs is the most talented horse in this field. He was really unlucky when falling when clear in the Turners Novices' Chase last year, but in my mind he is a monster and can have the beating of these, despite a very strong field. 

16:10 - Challenge Cup Open Hunters' Chase - Billaway - 8/1

It is easy to see why Billaway has obvious claims for this race when he has finished second in it twice before winning in dramatic fashion last year. He won on his last outing at Naas and I'm backing him to do so again at a venue he loves.
