Cheltenham Festival 2022 Gold Cup ante post news: A Plus Tard heads the market as Minella Indo is slashed in price
THE countdown to the Cheltenham Festival is on - and the ante post markets are taking shape.
One that has been in action since last year is the Gold Cup, one of the biggest races on the calendar.
Henry de Bromhead's Minella Indo won the showpiece race in March 2021 at 9-1, by one-and-a-quarter lengths from A Plus Tard.
SunSport looks at the odds for Friday week's showpiece after all the big guns have had months to state their claims.

Cheltenham Gold Cup news
A Plus Tard remains top of the pile after his runaway success in the Betfair Chase at Haydock earlier this season.
He was beaten narrowly by Galvin at Leopardstown in December and the two are closely matched, having not raced since.
Minella Indo has shortened in the betting after he bounced back from a quiet start to the season.
The two new horses on the scene are Irish Gold Cup winner Conflated and Dan Skelton's Protektorat. Conflated might still run in the Ryanair, though.
