Annacotty seeks Cheltenham repeat

Annacotty will attempt back-to-back victories in the BetVictor Gold Cup at Cheltenham on November 12.

The Alan King-trained gelding has been allotted 11st 8lb this time round, 8lb more than last year when he defeated Buywise by half a length.

Should Annacotty be successful then he would become only the third horse to double up in the presitigious handicap chase after Half Free (1984-85) and Bradbury Star (1993-94).
