Cheltenham Gold Cup news

The betting market has changed with the shock news that Willie Mullins’ all-conquering Monkfish is out through injury.

The runaway winner of the 2021 Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase has damaged a tendon and won’t run this season.

That has seen Minella Indo’s odds tighten to 9-2 at the head of the market, with A Plus Tard also shortening.
