Twenty Two Going For Gold Knowhere, who has run creditably in two of the biggest handicap chases so far this season, heads the 22 acceptors in Saturday's Boylesports.com Gold Cup at Cheltenham.Nigel Twiston-Davies' nine-year-old has been left at the head of the weights following the defection of David Pipe's Our Vic and Paul Nicholls' Cerium.Pipe is still strongly represented through Abragante, Tamarinbleu and Vodka Bleu.Champion trainer Nicholls will look to continue his run of big-race successes with Le Volfoni and New Little Bric.Faasel, who nearly beat Black Jack Ketchum over hurdles on his seasonal debut, could revert to fences for the valuable event.Il Duce, second to L'Antartique in the Paddy Power Gold Cup, could bid to go one better.L'Antartique's trainer Ferdy Murphy relies on Hennessy disappointment New Alco having taken out the Paddy Power winner and Three Mirrors.Jessica Harrington's Knight Legend is the sole Irish representative.Other notable entries include Howle Hill, Roman Ark, Idole First, Palarshan and Copsale Lad.As a result of the defections, New Little Bric is favourite with Coral at 11-2.'The sensational Saturday big-race form of the Paul Nicholls yard is reason enough to make New Little Bric favourite and he is almost certain to start even shorter come race-time,' said Simon Clare, Coral spokesman.Boylesports Gold Cup; Coral bet: 11-2 New Little Bric, 7-1 Abragante, 15-2 Il Duce, 10-1 New Alco, Palarshan, Knowhere, 14-1 Faasel, Howle Hill, Roman Ark, 16-1 Idole First, Copsale Lad, Patman Du Charmil, 20-1 Bar(C) PA Sport
