SIMPLY THE BETTS finished behind Protektorat in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham, but that was a most encouraging effort given that he was returning from a year off and the combination of this step up in trip and sharper track could be just the tonic. Protektorat won't go down without a fight and 2019 winner Native River is greatly respected, too, but Imperial Aura is second choice.
