Imperial Commander is still well weighted for the Boylesports Gold Cup which is the Cheltenham feature for the two day festival next week. He will carry 10st 6lb and is currently the 3/1 favourite with Boylesports after his most impressive win of the Paddy Power Gold Cup at The Open on November 15. He could attempt to become only the fourth horse to land the two Cheltenham contests in the same season following on from Pegwell Bay (1988), Senor El Betrutti (1997) and Exotic Dancer (2006). His trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies could also run Battlecry (10st) and Patman Du Charmil (9st 2lb).Content
