Native River will be centre stage on the final day of the Cheltenham Festival tomorrow.

That’s the belief of Mike Edwards, The Local Answer’s racing tipster, who believes the Colin Tizzard-trained horse will triumph in the Cheltenham Gold Cup tomorrow just as he did last year.

Edwards said: “He was a very impressive Gold Cup winner in 2018, he’s as good a 3-mile chaser as you will see especially in these conditions. Very tough horse, will front run and grind them down!”

And Edwards certainly knows what he’s talking about because he tipped three winners on day two, as well as two second places, a third place and a fourth.
