Gwanako and Sunday's Warwick winner Our Vic are the new top weights in Saturday's Boylesports.com Gold Cup at Cheltenham after Paddy Power Gold Cup winner Tranquil Sea was, as expected, withdrawn at the latest forfeit stage.

The Paul Nicholls-trained Gwanako, who has not won since December last year, was last seen unseating Christian Williams in the Amlin 1965 Chase at Ascot last month.

Thirty-two horses were left in the Grade 3 chase on Monday, including Paddy Power Gold Cup runner-up, Poquelin, and third, Hold Em, as well as the sponsor's 11-2 favourite Atouchbetweenacara.

2007 winner Tamarinbleu remains among the potential runners, along with stablemate Seven Is My Number, and the Nicholls-trained Chapoturgeon, a faller when fancied for the Paddy Power Gold Cup.

Willie Mullins has left in Scotsirish, Jayo and Pomme Tiepy, while Tranquil Sea's trainer Edward O'Grady could rely on Sky's The Limit.
