Gold Cup plunge on Tavern

Bookmakers have slashed the price of Truckers Tavern for the Tote Cheltenham Gold Cup after a deluge of ante-post bets.

Ferdy Murphy’s eight-year-old has been nominated for the race on a well-known tipping line, prompting punters to cash in on the 25-1 available with Coral and the 20-1 Ladbrokes were offering.
