Old favourite looks tremendous value to reclaim Cheltenham Gold Cup crown

As was the case 12 months ago, Al Boum Photo (178) is the horse who has all the attributes and is by far the most likely winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

A decisive scorer in a strongly run race in 2019, he was less impressive in a more muddling affair last year, but he is clearly pretty adaptable in terms of pace and ground.

Having followed the tried and trusted route to the meeting via Tramore on New Year's Day, he looks a worthy favourite to add his name to the illustrious list of horses who have won the race on three successive occasions.
