15.20 Cheltenham Gold Cup

The highlight of the entire Cheltenham Festival, the Gold Cup crowns the best chaser in Europe over a relentless three mile course.

Won by some of the best horses of all time, victory in the race demands the perfect balance between speed, technique and bravery and it is no surprise that Kauto Star and Denman are set to battle out the race for a third year in a row.

Having won the race in 2007, Kauto Star lost his crown to his Paul Nicholls stablemate in 2008, before the result was reversed once again in 2009.

Both look in the form of their life this year and an epic duel to settle the score once and for all looks sure to ensue.
