Betting tip – Presenting Percy, Native River and Clan Des Obeaux are all vying for favourtism amongst punters at present and with changing ground, it will be interesting to see who goes off as favourite for the 2019 Cheltenham Gold Cup. Presenting Percy won the 2017 Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle and has won 5 of 7 recent races. Native River won this race in 2018 and will surely have supporters while Clan Des Obeaux won the King George VI Chase in December and comes here in good form. Kemboy, Bellshill, Might Bite and Thistlecrack make up the remainder of the threats.
