Izzy Phillips: Cheltenham Festival Day 4
Izzy Phillips returns with her Cheltenham Festival Day 4 preview, sharing her thoughts on two key races on Friday's card.

The Jukebox Man to Land Redknapp Gold Cup Glory?
1:20 Cheltenham
Triumph Hurdle
Selection: Minella Academy
After last year’s surprise winner with Poniros, it made sense to look for an under the radar Willie Mullins runner and, for me, that’s Minella Academy.
He’s never run for Willie Mullins before, but he did have one start for John J Nallen and won by eight lengths. He’s got a good partner in Danny Mullins and he could pull off an upset.
1:20 Cheltenham - Minella Academy
4:09 Cheltenham
Gold Cup
Selection: The Jukebox Man
After what was an incredible King George at Kempton, arguably the best race so far this season, I was so impressed with The Jukebox Man. The way he fought back to get up showed that he can stay and should relish the extra two furlongs in the Gold Cup. He beat some really good horses that day and showed his heart.
It’ll be scenes if Harry Redknapp can win the Gold Cup. It’ll be his equivalent of the Champions League. Ben Pauling is in form and has always been strong about his horse’s chances in the big one.
