Last year's Gold Cup winner Minella Indo is among the 11 runners for Friday's showpiece race.
Stuart Williams runs through the likeliest winners of the blue riband race, with a new brigade lining up to threaten the established order.
Elliott’s eight-year-old will relish every yard of this trip and decent ground would really play to his strengths. While A Plus Tard will bid to emulate 2018 hero Native River by winning this blue riband prize at the second attempt. In fairness, why would you want to change a formula that has proven so successful in the past? Minella Indo undoubtedly saves his best for Cheltenham in March and I would expect to see a much more improved performance once again. Paddy Power Gold Cup runner-up Protektorat is completely unexposed over staying trips and could easily opt yet another career best performance. Henry de Bromhead capped off a remarkable Cheltenham Festival last year with a 1-2 in the blue riband contest.
The 2022 Cheltenham Festival concludes with one final bumper day of racing, including the prestigious Gold Cup.

Our tipster returns for the final day of racing at the festival, giving you his top selections.
Mount Ida put it all together in January when beating Elimay at Fairyhouse. On the strength of that run, I am siding with her in this event. With Rachael Blackmore and Lucy Turner both already on the scoreboard, this race may go to another lady rider. If either of these horses win this race they will receive a special bonus cheque on top of the prize money for this event. Unfortunately he may find this company simply a wee bit too good. The Festival comes to a close with The Grand Annual (4.50), and this is my nap of the meeting! With many bookies paying six places I will put up two selections that represent good value.
