There were no additional entries for Friday's Gold Cup at Cheltenham at Saturday morning's confirmation stage, despite the shock withdrawal of the dual Gold Cup winner Galopin Des Champs on Friday night.

It had been widely expected that Fact To File would be supplemented for the Gold Cup but his name is not among the 14 confirmations, meaning that he will run instead in Thursday's Ryanair Chase, which he won so impressively last year.

Willie Mullins, trainer of both Galopin Des Champs and Fact To File, has now just one remaining Gold Cup contender in the shape of Gaelic Warrior. He will renew rivalry with The Jukebox Man, who narrowly defeated him in the King George VI Chase at Kempton over Christmas. Banbridge and Jango Baie, third and fourth in the Kempton race, also remain in the Gold Cup picture.
