Find out who's in contention to run in the Paddy Power Gold Cup as well as the Greatwood Hurdle and Coral Gold Cup

The 7-2 ante-post favourite Ginny's Destiny, along with Il Ridoto and last year's winner Stage Star, could attempt to provide Paul Nicholls with his fourth Paddy Power Gold Cup after featuring among 26 entries.

Course specialist Ginny's Destiny has been given the option of returning to Cheltenham on November 16 after finishing second in the Grade 1 Turners Novices' Chase and Manifesto Novices' Chase in the spring.

Crebilly, who was as short as 6-1, did not feature not among the entries but owner JP McManus appears set to be represented by In Excelsis Deo, a Grade 2 winner at the track in April, and Janidil.

Imagine, a Grade 2 novice chase winner for Gordon Elliott, is the 6-1 second favourite for his new trainer Harry Derham, while Ryanair Chase winner Protektorat is also entered in the £150,000 contest.

Paddy Power spokesman Paul Binfield said: “Paul Nicholls recently answered the question ‘If you had to back one horse for one race this season, who would it be?’ and chose Ginny's Destiny in our contest.

"When the multiple champion trainer, who has already won the Paddy Power Gold Cup three times, including last year with Stage Star, enthuses like that, we’d be fools to ignore it and Ginny's Destiny is 7-2 favourite."

Unbeaten Dysart heads Greatwood market

A total of 40 entries for the Greatwood Handicap Hurdle on the following day were also released on Tuesday, with the ante-post market headed by the Fergal O'Brien-trained Dysart Enos.

She could put her unbeaten record under rules on the line against the likes of Go Dante, Burdett Road, Kalif Du Berlais and Under Control for last year's winning trainer Nicky Henderson.
