Cheltenham Festival tips: Oli Bell previews Gold Cup day including Al Boum Photo backed to win the big one


Oli Bell backs Al Boum Photo to retain his Cheltenham Gold Cup crown - he has six Festival fancies for the final day.

Goshen
Extremely talented juvenile who has transferred his immense progress from the Flat to the jumps game under the guidance of Gary Moore. It will take a special horse to lower his colours in the Triumph.

Embittered
Joseph O'Brien's six-year-old novice ran well in the red-hot Ladbrokes Handicap Hurdle despite being hampered and prior to that he was mixing with the likes of Envoi Allen and Abacadabras.

Redford Road
Redford Road comes into the Albert Bartlett under the radar but he has shown a decent level of form all season and his experience around Cheltenham will stand him in good stead.

Al Boum Photo
Last year's Gold Cup hero returns for another bite at the cherry with a massive chance having enjoyed an almost identical prep. He's a sound jumper and a strong stayer who ticks all the boxes.

Eclair De Beaufeu

Front View
On what could be a good day for trainer Joseph O'Brien, Front View looks a really obvious one that's been plotted up for the race in which connections were successful with a similar type last season.
