Our Boylesport Gold Cup tips for this Saturdays big race at Cheltenham is not very original however we cannot see beyond the claims of race favourite, Imperial Commander. Having said that we look at him and one or two of his opponents.
Imperial commanderA price of 7/4 is quite unreasonable in a big field handicap, but Nigel Twiston-Davies' seven-year-old could be a serious chaser in the making. After his win in the Paddy Power Gold Cup on the same course last month, jockey Paddy Brennan stated that he's may be one of the best horses he's ever rode. That is some statement! The only question is whether he can handle the rise in the weights. He ran off a mark of 139 that day, and with hindsight, we can safely say that that weight was far too low. If he handles it and runs as well as he did in the paddy Power then he should win, but the price is not one we would back and therefore perhaps there is a better each way option in the field.
Oslot the 2008 Galway Plate winner has been left with top weight, due to the withdrawals of several notables such Exotic Dancer, but his huge price in the odds shows that layers don't believe he'll be in the winners' enclosure.

Silverburn Out of the three horses entered by the Paul Nicholls, it's fair to say that Silverburn represents their best chance. Due toa blunder, he was beaten into sixth in the Paddy Power Gold Cup, which does not auger well as nine of the last ten winners of this race came first, second, or third last time out. He is a full brother to Denman and the stable think highly of him and claim he has come out of the Paddy Power in great shape. However we would sooner watch him only for this.
Three Mirrors is the most interesting of all to us. He was fifth in the Paddy Power Gold Cup, and was running on well at the end, he has also got a couple of decent handicaps at Ayr under the belt and we would expect to see another win from the eight-year-old in the coming months. Its likely that he will not have enough to beat Imperial Commander, however at odds of around 10/1 he is certainly worth an each way punt, particularly with four to be placed.
