Paddy Power brand ambassador Matt Chapman reckons Minella Indo is overpriced in the Cheltenham Gold Cup and could be an option to win punters some serious cash.
The Racing TV personality also tips Jonbon, Facile Vega and Favori de Champdou to do the business in the coming days.
“At a short price let's go for Jonbon in the Arkle and I actually like Facile Vega in the supreme even though lots are against him now,” Chapman exclusively told the Irish Mirror.

“At bigger prices which is what most people will want is a horse called Favori de Champdou who I think will run really well for Gigginstown.
“And you know what, the former Gold Cup winner Minella Indo is too big of a price in the Gold Cup at 20/1 having beaten Stattler last time out.
"Now, Stattler was giving Minella Indo eight pounds but it was over 2 miles 6 furlong and that’s only when Minella Indo gets going at that kind of clip.
“The fact that Minella Indo is 20/1 and Stattler is 8/1 or 9/1 is just the wrong price. I’m not saying it’s a certainty or anything because Gallopin des Champs may just be far too good for all of them.
“But he’s never a 20/1 shot the horse that won it two years ago and was second last year.
“So those are four horses to go to war with.”
