Cyfor Malta 12-1 to turn on the Power

CYFOR MALTA is a best-priced 12-1 with the sponsors and Cashmans for the Paddy Power Gold Cup on Saturday in his bid to land the Cheltenham showpiece for a third time.

The 10-year-old was cut to 10-1 from 14-1 with William Hill following yesterday’s confirmation stage, at which 26 stood their ground.

Cyfor Malta, winner in 1998 and last year, is now outright top-weight on 11st 12lb for the £110,000 handicap chase. He heads a team of four as trainer Martin Pipe bids for a fourth successive victory in the race and a seventh in all.
