That came on significant ground, giving weight away, and Murtagh, who won 2 Gold Cups on Yeats, feels he can offer last year's winner Fame And Glory lots to try to to.
Murtagh told At The Races: "He ran o.k. the opposite day, i used to be terribly pleased with him, the bottom was terribly soft. He would not like sticky ground.
"If it comes up on the great facet at Ascot he'd have an excellent probability, i am wanting forward to riding him within the Gold Cup."
