Colin Tizzard's horse confirmed his liking for Cheltenham with a nine-length success over First Lieutenant, adding to a previous victory in the Weatherbys Champion Bumper at the 2010 Festival.

The runner-up can be backed at 20/1 for next year's Gold Cup, a race for which Dynaste is a 25/1 chance following his second in the Jewson Novices' Chase.

Cue Card was also cut to 25/1 for the contest despite the fact that he's likely to be campaigned over shorter, while he's 14/1 to win the King George at Kempton.

Boylesports make Solwhit a 12/1 chance to win next year's Ladbrokes World Hurdle having outstayed Celestial Halo to win at 17/2.

Stan James were evidently more impressed and quote just 6/1 in a market headed by the absent Big Buck's, who is a best of 4/1 with William Hill.

Third home Smad Place is a general 14/1 chance along with fourth Reve De Sivola, but another lifeless Festival display from Oscar Whisky means he can be backed at 20/1.
