FormscanBy Michael Graham - ROAD TO RICHES ought to put himself right in the picture for the Cheltenham Gold Cup with a victory here. Considering he was third in last year's blue-riband, he is almost the forgotten horse in discussions over this season's renewal. With a rating of 165 he is clearly top-class and is well proven at Grade One level. He has plenty in hand on the weights against his rivals, is a former course and distance winner and is reportedly in great form ahead of this assignment. Apparently his work last Sunday was impressive and left both Noel Meade and Bryan Cooper delighted with him. First Lieutenant and Foxrock ran crackers in the Lexus at Christmas to be second and third respectively. They finished close-up behind Don Poli and certainly made him work for his victory. That was a gruelling race on desperate ground and it is to be hoped they can both put their best foot forward here. If they do, they have more than enough talent to be involved in the distribution of prize money. Sir Des Champs has questions to answer having finished a well-beaten fifth in the Lexus.
