Imperial Commander faces 15 Boylesports rivals

There were no shock withdrawals from the Boylesports.com Gold Cup after 16 horses were declared this morning for Saturday's 2m5f handicap at Cheltenham.

Finger Onthe Pulse and the Arthur Moore-trained Notable d'Estruval are the two Irish challengers after Willie Mullins took out Scotsirish, while Santa's Son and Gold Medalist were also removed.

Paddy Power Gold Cup winner Imperial Commander heads the market at around 2/1, while Paul Nicholls is three-handed with Silverburn, Nozic and top-weight Oslot.

Private Be, Il Duce and Three Mirrors - third, fourth and fifth respectively in the 'Paddy Power' - all reoppose, while My Petra represents the in-from Nicky Henderson.
