O'Neill Hoping Push Comes To Shove

Jonjo O'Neill is looking forward to unleashing ante-post favourite Don't Push It in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham on Saturday.

A faller in the Arkle on his last visit to Prestbury Park, he won a valuable hurdle race at Chepstow on his last start and heads the betting with the sponsors at 4-1.

'Don't Push It definitely runs and he's got as good a chance as any as long as he jumps well and the race pans out for him,' said O'Neill.

'He's won around Cheltenham before but has been beaten there more times than he has won.

'He's in good old form and I hope he will run well but it's a tough race.'

O'Neill added that Mountain is an intended runner in the Greatwood Hurdle on Sunday.
