Don Coassack unchanged for Gold Cup after winning return

Don Cossack remains 6-1 co-second favourite with Coral for the Gold Cup, and 5-1 for the King George VI Chase, following a straightforward winning return to action at Punchestown this afternoon.

“As the highest rated chaser in Britain and Ireland, Don Cossack was entitled to take care of his Punchestown rivals in the manner he did, in the process confirming his prominent position in the ante-post markets for the some of the season’s most important races,” said Coral’s David Stevens.
