Those nice people at Skybet have been giving me a free fiver every week since March and I've had every fiver of Auvergnat for the Cross Country and now have a half decent position.
Have to say when I started I wasn't expecting CoC to run in this, as a triple winner at the festival I thought they'd set their sights higher and he really does look the one they all have to beat, however, Auvergnat showed much promise in his debut banks season especially when winning the PP Hogan and a year stronger can improve, but CoC a massive runner...
Can't disagree, I have Auvergnat noted to back at 16s each way in the near future... i haven't yet as Josies Orders is in the same yard and I am wishfully thinking Enda might release something to give me a clue where JO is up to. That was the banker of the festival around this time last year
I just loaded my spread sheet of bets and then when I see Cause of Causes at 9/1 I feel stupid not backing it AGAIN.

Reason: CoC haha
Obviously we want every horse to get to March fit, healthy and at the top of their game, but last years Gold Cup proved that fancied runners can have difficulty making the engagement, should the same issues exist this season I can see CoC being re-routed to Friday and a stab at the big GC/National double.
There just wouldn't be any sense passing up the opportunity to have a shot in the big one in my mind...
'As it stands@ 9-1 CoC is too big in my eyes. Hence the ante post bet.
Of course things could change and horses could injure themselves causing them to miss engagements at Cheltenham. But I can't place an ante post bet thinking that will be the case. At this present time he will surely defend his crown.
Fingers crossed all horses stay safe and sound for the coming season, the GC would be a cracker!
I know some of you will disagree ! , but with regard to Might Bite going for the triple crown or not .
I have a decent A.post bet on m.b. for the Chelt gold cup , and personally i wouldn't be
too worried if he didn,t tackle the big three races , Nicky H is the man , so i think if he's
serious about the gold cup , i could see him swerving it (the triple ).
I agree BC, he's clearly a volatile character and a temperament like that could create problems, he'll be handled with gloves and well looked after.
I think he's a certainty to go to Kempton but he could easily swerve Haddock...
Love Might Bite too BC, hoping everything runs smoothly in the build up to the Gold Cup, also believe he will go on and win the King George, which in turn currently makes him a great trading price for the GC, as he won't be 8/1 after the King George!

Nicky Henderson also has a contender in Might Bite, the remarkable winner of last year’s RSA Chase who followed up at Aintree’s Grand National meeting. quote him at 50-1.
“The Chase Triple Crown is a fantastic initiative and it’s great that Jockey Club Racecourses is repeating the bonus,” the champion trainer said.
“It focuses your mind as to where to start the season if you want a chance of winning the Triple Crown. Might Bite’s main objective is the King George so with this bonus it would certainly make sense to start at Haydock Park.”

I cannot wait to be there at Haydock for this race!

I've almost read it all. The write up Stay Humble gets prompted me to request some quotes for the champion bumper. B365 have added him at 33/1 so I've had a little nibble.
