Quel Esprit can deliver in Gold Cup

I am very hopeful that Quel Esprit can deliver in the Gold Cup at Punchestown today.

We know he’s had his problems over fences in the past, but is unbeaten in three races this season and will arrive now in good shape.

Paul Townend was to have partnered him in the Cheltenham Gold, but wasn’t happy with the horse the morning of the race and Willie Mullins withdrew him.
