Harry Redknapp’s Jukebox Man has been confirmed to run in Friday’s Cheltenham Gold Cup – alongside 10 other horses.
The Redknapp-owned horse won the prestigious King George VI Chase at Kempton Park on 26 December and looks to match that result in the four-day festival’s feature race.
But returning and trying to win the race for a second consecutive year is the Gavin Cromwell-trained Inothewayurthinkin.
Irish trainer Willie Mullins will rely solely on Gaelic Warrior as he looks for a fifth victory.
Mullins’ number one jockey Paul Townend will be in the saddle – in a blow to Willie’s son Patrick, who rode him to victory at Aintree last year and second in the Irish Gold Cup when last seen.
Nicky Henderson’s Jango Baie, winner of last year’s Arkle Chase, will be ridden by Nico de Boinville.
