Cheltenham Festival Day 4 Tips

The smartest National Hunt chasers are on show on the final day of the festival and this year's Gold Cup looks one of the most competitive in recent years as it stands.

Galopin Des Champs is a popular favourite for the big test. Another fascinating contender is Noble Yeats trained by Emmet Mullins, who was super impressive when showing a marked turn of foot to win the Grade 2 Many Clouds Chase and ran promisingly on Cheltenham Trials Day.

Stattler has entered the frame for Willie Mullins after his narrow defeat to Minella Indo giving him 8 pounds and second to Galopin Des Champs at the Dublin Racing Festival.

Tip - Stattler is a young and improving horse who will stay the trip and goes well at Cheltenham. He is worth an each-way bet at the prices.
