Ascot Gold Cup, 2m 4f York
Th Jun 16

Looking ahead to next Thursday's Gold Cup and there has been substantial support for Westerner, who is now a best-priced 5/2 shot. France's leading stayer has looked as good as ever in his two runs this season, accounting for Allez Olive over two miles at Longchamp on both occasions.

In last year's race he had to play second fiddle to Godolphin's Papineau, but the ground was very fast that day which wouldn't have suited the French horse, plus he's 2lb better off with his conqueror this time around. He's also had an ideal preparation, while Papineau has not, so the advice is to lump on now.

Westerner now as short as 2/1

He can currently be backed at 2.9 on Betfair, and laid at 3. There are 20 horses running in this race. Seems very short in a quite a big field.
