Neptune Collonges an each-way wager to nothing in Gold Cup

ANYONE else think Neptune Collonges has rapidly become the each-way value for the Cheltenham Gold Cup?

We know that, ordinarily, you wouldn’t mention him in the same breath as his exalted stable companions, Denman and Kauto Star, but this is no ordinary year.

We’ve waffled on long enough about Denman and won’t be having him at any price come March 13. Kauto Star has been given the ideal preparation and will be as fresh as paint, having been rested since storming to yet another King George success at Kempton at Christmas.
