December Gold Cup - Cheltenham 10th Dec

The highlight of Saturday's card at headquarters is the big handicap chase over 2m5f. In this the Alan King trained Medermit catches my eye at 14/1. This horse ran really well for a long way before finishing third behind Master Minded and Somersby last time out at Ascot. That was a run over an inadequate trip on good ground in my opinion. Indeed, his best run as a novice last season was over Saturday's trip at Sandown back in February when he beat the subsequent Arkle winner Captain Chris. Most of the horses towards the front of the market were placed in the Paddy Power last month but I remain unconvinced of the value of that form. I'm happy to take them on with my selection.

Medermit £40w @ 14/1
