Tip To Win: Kauto Star

Even though doubts remain about Kauto's jumping record, he is the form horse in this twenty strong field. His main rivals include Denman (who may not even run), Neptune Collonges (will need a lifetime's best performance to win) and Madison du Berlais (won at Kempton, but this is a different race altogether). Kauto Star has the speed, ability and most importantly has won here before.

Tip for Each Way Bet: Barbers Shop

Those that are looking for a good each way bet on this year's Cheltenham Gold Cup should look no further than Barbers Shop who is well placed to surprise on the big day. With concerns over Denman's health and Kauto Star's jumping it is worth having a good back up. Barbers Shop was runner up in the Paddy Power Gold Cup and is fast improving.

Tip For Gold Cup Without Denman, Kuato Star and Neptune Collonges: Madison du Berlais

This David Pipe trained horse has already had a great start to the season, with wins at Kempton and in the Hennessy at Newbury. Madison has also had impressive runs at Cheltenham in the past, the only thing holding him back is possibly a lack of stamina. If you take the top three in the betting out then Madison du Berlais looks a good bet.
