Today's Tips: Cue Card can round off campaign with a win at Punchestown

Due to enforced absences and otherwise, this afternoon’s featured Bibby Financial Services Punchestown Gold Cup may not be the end-of-season clash we craved, but the presence of King George winner Cue Card and Gold Cup second and third Djakadam and Don Poli ensures it is a race to savour.
Today's Tips: Cue Card can round off campaign with a win at Punchestown

British challenger Cue Card has got to be the choice, after a season which has seen him surpass his previous best efforts, despite being a ten-year-old. The only concern for Colin Tizzard’s gelding is that he has had a tough season, racing at the highest level. However, he was given a break prior to Cheltenham, where he was in front and still going well when falling at the third-last in the Gold Cup.

He showed no ill-effects when beating Don Poli and Djakadam at Aintree, and that mid-season break should reap its reward by allowing him produce his best for the third time in less than six weeks.
