The first handicap of the second Cheltenham Festival day and one of the toughest handicaps of the entire week.
This two miles and five furlongs handicap hurdle usually throws up a gamble or two on the day of the race so it is always worth trying to pick out an early fancy.

A big, competitive field went to post for the Coral Cup, and it gave us a dramatic finish. We saw outsider Commander Of Fleet win the race, coming home with a huge SP of 50/1 and winning the race by a short head in what was a photo finish.
