Neptune Collonges can strike gold

NEPTUNE COLLONGES is the value each-way choice to land the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup at Prestbury Park this afternoon.

A relentless galloper and brilliant jumper — at least most of the time — the grey eight-year-old looks certain to run to his best, a remark which may not apply to many of his rivals.

Paul Nicholls’ charge ran his heart out in the Gold Cup a year ago to finish third behind his stable companions, Denman and Kauto Star.
