JASON HEAVEY’S horse-by-horse guide to the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup

1. ENVOI ALLEN - 28-1
Trainer: Henry de Bromhead
Jockey: Darragh O’Keeffe
Remarkable horse running in his eighth successive Festival. This is probably his swansong and if he finishes in the first four it would be a fitting end.

Each-way claims.

2. FIREFOX - 33-1
Trainer: Gordon Elliott
Jockey: Jack Kennedy
Solid performer and fourth in the Irish Gold Cup but the petrol gauge might be flickering at the business end of the race.

3. GAELIC WARRIOR - 10-3
Trainer: Willie Mullins
Jockey: Paul Townend
The class horse of the race but will he stay 3m2f? If he does he'll probably win but the stamina doubt is enough to put me off. Still, a serious player.
