‘The trainer’s a master at getting one ready’ – Templegate’s 20-1 Cheltenham Festival Gold Cup ante-post tip
TEMPLEGATE goes in search of some huge ante-post value in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
One horse stands head and shoulders above the rest – but nothing is certain in this game and he’s got to get to Prestbury Park first.
You might think others are running for second behind Willie Mullins’ two-time king Galopin Des Champs.

‘He could be much shorter on the day’ – Click HERE for Templegate’s 33-1 Champion Hurdle pick
Trying to find a big-priced angle on the Gold Cup winner seems tricky after GALOPIN DES CHAMPS ran close to his best in seeing off Fact To File in the Savills at Leopardstown.
The double reigning champ was brilliant and looked the winner from two miles out.
Fact To File boxed on well for second but it’s hard to see him turning the form around.
Galopin could be even shorter than the current 11-10 on the day as he’s different class to anything else around over the punishing 3m2f Gold Cup trip.
He can join legends Best Mate and Arkle in the triple-winner club.
The each-way pick in the race is MONTY’S STAR at 20-1 with Bet365 or 16-1 with Hills NRNB.
He was a good second in the Brown Advisory last season before going close at the Punchestown Festival.
He looked very rusty on his first outing since then when second at Tramore on New Year’s Day but it was still a decent effort to finish second.
Henry De Bromhead is a past master at getting one ready for a target and he’ll have this eight-year-old ready to go for the Gold Cup.
Assuming Galopin Des Champs and Fact To File fill the first two places, he has every chance of finishing third and grabbing the each-way money.
