It's Gold Cup day at Cheltenham.

The Colin Tizzard-trained Native River is looking to become the first horse since Best Mate in 2004 to retain the famous trophy.

The Pat Kelly-trained Presenting Percy, and Paul Nicholls' Clan Des Obeaux (PR: Days Oh-bow) appear to be Native River's closest rivals, and the big race goes to post at 3.30.

Action on the final day of the festival gets underway at 1.30 with the Grade One Triumph Hurdle, for which Sir Erec is due to go off an odds-on favourite.
