Cheltenham Gold Cup Preview - Festival Focus

Two Bob - Namesakes Boston Bob and last year's winner Bobs Worth are my two for the Gold Cup this year

It’s that time again, with just over eight weeks to go until the Cheltenham Festival my Festival Focus posts are back, tackling each of the Graded races in the build-up to the greatest show on turf.

This year rather than going through the races in order I’m going to tackle them as and when I solidify my thoughts on a certain race, so with that in mind first up for 2014 is the big one – the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

My ante-post punting has been somewhat of a disaster in the last twelve months but with many firms now going Non Runner No Bet on the main races at the festival you can now bet with the reassurance that should your horse not line up you will at least get your stake back.
