Lee Westwood arrives for day 4 having enjoyed a very profitable week at Cheltenham so far

Former world No 1 golfer Westy shares his tips for Gold Cup day with Sun readers here – and makes a bold bid to deliver the 1-2-3 in the showpiece race.

He said: “I needed that big finish yesterday after a bad case of ‘seconditis’ early on – four runners-up before I finally broke my duck.

“Actually it was quite nice to have another second in the last race – that made it a 1-2, and gave us a nice forecast of just over 53-1. That will pay for today’s bets.

“And I don’t want to hear any jokes about ‘Missed Approach’ being fairly appropriate for a golfer!

“Seriously though, I’ve really enjoyed Cheltenham his year, and sharing my tips with Sun readers.

“I hope we can finish on a high, but the fields all seem to be massive today, so fingers crossed: I’ve included some big priced horses, especially in the later races.”
