The National Hunt season goes up a notch this weekend and Simply the Betts can record his biggest success yet by winning the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham today.

Victorious at the Festival Trials meeting in January, Harry Whittington's charge went on to win the Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Advisory Plate at the Festival itself, digging deep to deny Happy Diva, last season's Paddy Power Gold Cup winner.
