King set to strike again with Katchit in Triumph

KAUTO STAR is the best horse in this afternoon’s Totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup but there are too many question marks for me to back him at such a short price.

His jumping problems are just too great and I’m not convinced he’ll get the trip. In fact, I’d nearly go as far as to say I’d lay him if I was a betting man.

That leaves us with a fierce open race. For me, Exotic Dancer is an improver but a handicapper, while The Listener wants softer ground.
