Tommy Lyons: Santini can strike in Cup

Santini can give trainer Nicky Henderson a third win in the Magners Cheltenham Gold Cup, having won the race with Long Run in 2013 and Bobs Worth two years later, writes Tommy Lyons

As much as could have gone wrong for Santini went wrong prior to last year’s Cheltenham Festival and yet he ran a superb race to finish second in the RSA Chase given the circumstances.
