    Dozen on Course for Cheltenham Gold Cup
     09/03/13

    Exciting second-season chasers Bobs Worth, Silviniaco Conti and Sir Des Champs feature among 12 six-day confirmations for the 550,000 Grade One Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup (3.20pm), highlight of Cheltenham Gold Cup Day at The Festival, Friday, March 15.

    Bobs Worth, currently 11/4 favourite with Betfred, is unbeaten in four starts at Cheltenham and has been successful at The Festival in both the Denman (2008). Silviniaco Conti is a 4/1 chance with Betfred to add to his handler's enviable record in the extended three and a quarter-mile contest.

    Sir Des Champs

    Like Bobs Worth, Sir Des Champs (7/2) has also struck twice at The Festival, with victories in the Ireland's Hennessy Gold Cup from Flemenstar on February 9.

    Gigginstown Stud, which owns Sir Des Champs, could also be represented by last year's RSA Chase runner-up First Lieutenant (9/1), trained by Mouse Morris, and Bog Warrior (50/1), a Grade One novice chase winner for Tony Martin last season.

    Long Run

    The young pretenders to the chasing crown look set to face stiff opposition from seasoned performers including Bobs Worth's stable companion Long Run (11/2), who has six Grade One victories to his name including success in the Betfair Denman Chase at Newbury on February 9.

    His trainer David Bridgwater commented today: "The Giant Bolster heads to The Festival in good order. You can't beat the form of last year's race and it will be an interesting contest this time around.

    "I think that we have another outstanding each-way chance this year. It would be silly to say that we are going to win the Gold Cup - anyone would be delighted to be placed in the race and winning it would be a bonus."

    Cape Tribulation

    Cape Tribulation (16/1), from the stable of Malcolm Jefferson, captured the Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase (5.15pm), which has 49 entries remaining including the Nicky Henderson-trained sextet of Anquetta, French Opera, Kid Cassidy, Petit Robin, Tanks For That and Tetlami.
