Confirmed runners and riders for Saturday's Caspian Caviar Gold Cup

Leading contenders Cepage and Secret Investor feature in a field of 15 for Saturday's Caspian Caviar Gold Cup at Cheltenham after Riders Onthe Storm was declared a non-runner in error on Friday.

Secret Investor's trainer Paul Nicholls, who is also set to saddle Brelan D'As, will be looking to continue his domination of the Grade 3 handicap chase, having won five of the last ten runnings.

Venetia Williams, who won the race in 2014 with Niceonefrankie, is responsible for topweight Cepage, who finished second to Riders Onthe Storm at Aintree.

Secret Investor and Cepage are trading around the 7-1 mark ahead of Brelan D'As and bottomweight Not That Fuisse.

Fresh from riding a treble at Aintree last Saturday, Tom Cannon bids to continue his good form on the Alan King-trained Good Man Pat.

Casablanca Mix, a winner at Aintree last Saturday, and 2017 scorer Guitar Pete were the notable omissions from the race as the field was trimmed down from 22 entries.
