Ouch. The first big kick in the bollocks of the season, so it begins...

[Odin]

Agh unlucky everyone who had him with Shishkin at fancy prices for the gold cup

[Silverbirch]

So already the gold cup is looking pretty weak?

[Zachx02]

Envoi still available at 16s....

My first ever post. What horse will be Willie's number one for the Gold Cup if we take the view Al Boom is regressing?

If CPS goes to the two Irish 2M Grade 1 Chases before Cheltenham (at Christmas and the DRF), and Energumene doesnt, where does he go?

* 2M4F Grade 1 John Durkan in December vs Allaho?
* 2M Tingle Creek in December vs Shishkin and PTKO?
* Run Energumene in 2M Grade 2 races, for much less money, with a penalty?

Tony Bloom the owner of Energumene would have plenty to say about the latter, I reckon!!

I think, like usually happens with Willie, when he looks at the options and the programme book, and sees the options, then he will run them against each other at least once, or maybe both times.

Its the best option usually, and helps to see who is his best chance in the Champion Chase, and whether to run them both in that race or not.

Cork for the Hilly Way to begin with i suspect then possibly onto Ascot? Back Right handed which would suit..

No Monk not GC for Willie i suspect. ABP will give his running of course.

[Silverbirch]

The big getaway?

Should've kept Colreevy in training!!
What price would she be?

[Overturn]

Did anyone manage to get out of their Monkfish bets? Only in multiples for me but 365 seemed quick on the cashout.

sickener on monkfish who I though would win the GC....minella indo still at 6s which i think is fair and I've topped up on him.

Not me. Lost over 20+ points. It does open the race up though and I do have Envoi and others so always a silver lining for me.

just totted up......31.5pts lost. Cheers Monk!

Nearly fav I'd imagine. That's why I did Elimay based on the Colreevy form. She has to be right up there now as Mullins best hope surely??

[Faugheen_Machine]

Allaho could be the one. He was hardly disgraced in the RSA and then thumped them in the Ryanair.

He's worth another go at 3 miles for me.
