Henrietta Knight’s three-time Gold Cup winner was one of 32 entrants for the three-mile contest unveiled today, although he may well instead head to Ireland for the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown two days later.

Miss Knight could still have a runner though even if Best Mate does go to Ireland as last year’s winner Edredon Bleu is also in the race.
