Beef heads Gold field
Ante-post favourite Beef Or Salmon heads the 28 horses remaining in the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup on Friday following the five-day declaration stage.
All the leading contenders have stood their ground, with the eight-times Grade One winner’s market rival Monkerhostin, runner-up in the King George VI Chase at Sandown on Boxing Day, leading the home defence.
His trainer Philip Hobbs has also left in One Knight, with L’Ami, Hedgehunter, Iris’s Gift, Kingscliff, Our Vic, War Of Attrition and Sir Rembrandt all still possible runners.
