Can he finally win the Gold Cup this year?
Mullins has never won the Gold Cup despite his incredible Cheltenham record.
But with this year’s race wide open he could have his best chance yet.
Djakadam could run but has not looked himself in recent months, while Total Recall has a chance as does Killultagh Vic.
