Gold Cup betting tips

Kauto Star’s schooling accident has put a few punters off but he can show why he is regarded as one of the all-time steeplechasing greats as he bids for a second Gold Cup. LONG RUN has been left trailing in his wake the last twice but should strip fitter to retain his crown for amateur rider Sam Waley-Cohen.  His younger legs should give him the edge and barring accidents can find himself in the winner’s enclosure at the main expense of stablemate Burton Port who ran him close last time.

 

1-  Long Run

 

2-  Burton Port

 

3-  Kauto Star
