Willie Mullins is planning to give leading Timico Cheltenham Gold Cup contender Djakadam another outing before the Festival in March.

The six-year-old impressed when bounding away with the John Durkan Chase on his return at Punchestown earlier this month and is as low as 4-1 with Racebets for the Gold Cup.

Djakadam finished second to Coneygree in the race last term and Mullins expects him to run again before the Festival feature.

He said: "Djakadam will have another run before the Gold Cup and fingers crossed we can keep them all sound."
