Cue Card primed for Gold Cup attempt

Colin Tizzard labelled Cue Card the “horse of a lifetime” as he gets ready to bid for a £1million bonus in the Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup.

After winning the Betfair Chase and William Hill King George VI Chase already this season, Tizzard’s star has the first two legs of jump racing’s Jockey Club-backed ‘Triple Crown’ already in the bag.

A horse who won the Champion Bumper as a four-year-old, Cue Card is now 10 and still punching his weight at the highest level, arguably in the best form of his life - despite numerous problems.
