DAN SKELTON believes Protektorat, the shortest-priced British-trained runner in next month’s Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup, is a worthy contender.

“I feel it’s a very open Gold Cup,” said Skelton. “Every time there’s been a Gold Cup trial, or a Gold Cup-type race, there’s been a different winner.

“I’m delighted to have my horse in the form he is in at the moment. He worked this morning, and all is good.”
