Trabolgan New Cheltenham Gold Cup Betting Mover

Trabolgan defied top weight to hold French raider L'Ami in the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup at Newbury and Trabolgan is the new Cheltenham Gold Cup Betting mover as the seven-year-old trained by Nicky Henderson, was always travelling well for Mick Fitzgerald and stayed on strongly on the run-in to prevail in the colours of Grand National-winning owner Trevor Hemmings.

The 13-2 chance was giving Henderson his first Hennessy triumph, and provided Fitzgerald with a fairytale victory as he only returned to race-riding earlier in the week following a long spell on the sidelines with a broken neck.

"Nicky's always had faith in the horse from the beginning. We bought him as a yearling, we've nursed him all the way through, which is a lovely thing to do, and it's only his fifth run over fences."

"It's 20 years since a horse carrying this weight won this race. He really is a lovely animal."
