Im all over Burning Ambition for this with Foxrock to place. I think that his form when losing to Gilgamboa is very noteworthy. Gilgamboa still retains alot of his graded form ability and is lightly raced comparative to his age. If he qualified for the Fox's he would win this but BA is a worthy sub. He wins by 5L.
He wins by 5L? Now that's a bold statement of ever I've seen one
Plenty will agree with you but if Morning Assembly retains all his ability I'll be surprised if BA will beat him by 5L.

5 lengths? Are you mad?
As the fatjockey representative for Burning Ambition, I can confirm he doesn’t win by 5 lengths. He wins by 3 eased down.
Even with relatively poor horses they always go a million miles in the Foxhunters. I thought Burning Ambition was no value at 8/1 so it is not difficult to leave him alone at half the odds. Personally, I thought his defeat was a negative rather than a plus. I suspect that Gilgamboa is a shadow of his best and has never really been a fighter. On that evidence Burning Ambition looks a difficult ride and I suspect he will struggle to get home.
Gilgamboa is the best of the Irish hunter chasers.He defeated Foxrock by nearly 10L easily. Foxrock went 6s for the Fox hunters. BA only beaten 1L ridden by a 7lb claimer. He should be 2/1 on the day I reckon.
I don't know tbh. I think however on reflection the wild card probably would be for one that diddnt get in at the ratings. But did qualify.
Would be much fairer
Does anyone know who the wildcard was last year ?
Clinging onto hope that Staker Wallace might receive it
Although the fact he has not been seen does not bode well

In a recent Q&A session with the PPORA, Head Handicapper Phil Smith repeats that he does not consider point-to-point form when assessing ratings for the Festival's 'Amateur Gold Cup', although he does review pointing form and can offer one, and only one, wild card entry to a horse who has been making tsunamis on the pointing circuit.
The race's rich history would be diminished if rising stars like Cappa Bleu had no hope of getting in, although Cheltenham's current popularity invariably results in disappointed owners and trainers who believe their horses could have made an impact but for elimination. In some cases they have a point.
Barel Of Laughs, who was third in last year's race at 100/1, beaten half a length, was rated 117, and had just two horses below him on the list – he proved the run no fluke when landing the £25,000 Timico Gold Cup at Cheltenham in May.

When I put him up at 10s and then Napped him as my bet for the festival, I also predicted he’d go off about 5/2 favourite. I expect 2/1 will be about right now morning assembly is not running.
