Cheltenham Festival Gold Cup LIVE: Results and tips as Harry Redknapp and The Jukebox Man go for glory after 2.40 Mares Steeple Chase – UK Times

Another outsider winner on day four, with Johnnys Jury having started at 20/1!

It’s a win for Jamie Snowdon and Gavin Sheehan as the rain begins to fall at Prestbury Park.

Johnnys Jury comes from inside the middle of the pack, the duo racing through and putting themselves in contention with Fruit De Mer.

However, it’s Johnnys Jury who breaks free of the pack, gaining plenty of ground down the home straight and winning by over half a length in the end.

It looks like that same trio will contest the final part of the race…but Doctor Steinberg falling behind with a hurdle left!

Mondouiboy is contesting, as is The Passing Wife and Johnnys Jury…

Doctor Steinberg in the lead as they pass the halfway point, with six hurdles to go.

Three of those are in quick succession, with the leader emerging from all three unscathed so far.

Swindon Village is leading the chasing pack but there’s very little in it to Mondouiboy in third.

Doctor Steinberg in front over the first hurdle, and he begins to pull in front with seven hurdles left. Plenty of time to go though!

Swindon Village still in second, with almost a length to third.

Swindon Village is the first to show, moving into an early lead, with Doctor Steinberg in pursuit.

The fourth race of the day is almost at Prestbury Park, after a brief delay for a restart.

Will we see another favourite win the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle?

The last race before the Gold Cup is the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle, which is a Grade 1 race open to horses aged five years or older. It is run on the New Course at Cheltenham over a distance of about 3 miles, with twelve hurdles to be jumped.

The race was inaugurated in 2005, with previous winners including Bobs Worth and Minella Indo.

Last year, it was won by Paul Townend on Jasmin De Vaux.

Ruby Walsh’s tip: Espresso Milan

“Doctor Steinberg has obvious claims, but this is a race that can throw up some big-priced winners. I’m siding with Espresso Milan, who should really enjoy this step up in trip with a strong gallop. He’s the value selection.”

Jonathan Doidge’s tip: Spinningayarn (each-way)

“It’s fair to say that the favourite Doctor Steinberg goes into this with the pick of the form but I do worry that he’ll be too keen, while the form of Paul Nolan-trained Thedeviluno is not far behind him. However, one that I think will improve significantly for stepping up in trip this time is Spinningayarn.”

Here’s the result from the third race of the day:
