Day on fo the Cheltenham Festival and the whispers tipster is back. Here are their thoughts.
Cheltenham
J: P Townend
T: W P Mullins
Kopek Des Bordes is a perfect 3 wins from 3 starts and was a majestic winner of a grade 1 race at Leopardstown in February in the build up to today's race. The whispers tipster hears that Kopek Des Bordes wasn't fully tuned up last time and the stable expect him to improve plenty mentally for that run. He might be a lot sharper today and if that's the case then he should be winning given that he is already the highest rated horse in the race. A strong gallop and a stiff uphill finish are likely to play to his strengths as it is thought he could stay further than today's 2m distance. There will be some long faces in the Mullins camp should Kopek Des Bordes not fulfil his potential today. Kopek Des Bordes rates a 5 star win Pick.
