Take a chance with Eau De Cologne to come out on top in the Whitbread Gold Cup at Sandown today as the jumps season draws to a close.
On his latest outing at Newbury Eau De Cologne led approaching four out and won a shade comfortably by one and a quarter lengths from King Of Sparta. His jockey that day Jimmy McCarthy believed Eau De Cologne would have been better suited by a stronger pace, which he is sure to get in the Whitbread.
Champion trainer and jockey elect, Martin Pipe and Tony McCoy, team up with Royal Predica but this promising sixyear-old may find the stiff Sandown fences too much. Mudlark Young Kenny is set to shoulder top weight but nevertheless he is sure to give a good account of himself.
