Attention is then switched to the jumps, with a Gold Cup credentials of Don Cossack coming under scrutiny following his facile success in the Grade 1 JNwine Champion Chase at Down Royal.

Don Cossack a decent shout for 2016 Cheltenham Gold Cup
He is now 6/1 with Coral to land the 2016 Cheltenham Gold Cup, with Willie Mullins’ Vautour heading the betting on 4/1.
