              • ....for anybody interested, Hills have APT @ 8-1 as today’s ‘Cheltenham Festival Countdown’ special offer (best price 6-1 elsewhere).

                (not easy to find, but it’s in their specials section under ‘Cheltenham Festival Countdown’).

                • Gold Cup thread on page 4 smdh

                  Anyway in his tour with Blake, HDB says Jack Kennedy will ride Minella Indo. APT's rider isn't mentioned, but I would presume that means Rachel has jumped ship. Telling?

                    Yeah that came out a few days ago I think, certainly not hard to see why she'd have picked A Plus Tard?

                    Minella Indo a fair old price for a festival winner and RSA placed horse with a top jockey on his back though....

                      Ah apologies, over eager trying to be a useful forumite without due diligence.

                      Minella Indo was exactly my idea of the Gold Cup winner - but my idea of the Gold Cup winner rarely wins! So I've pivoted hard to APT as he has a bit of a Sizing John vibe who i unfairly overlooked

                        Santini schooled with some headgear on yesterday and I can confirm he will wear a visor in the Gold Cup

                          Anyone excited by this?
                          not sure how to take it, given the ground appears to have gone against him - then again, hasn’t Nicky come out and said he’s better over tarmac

                            Unless Nicky is planning on strapping a couple of jet packs to him it won't make any difference next Friday

                              Native River is the only winner of the Gold Cup this Century to have worn any type of headgear. Just saying.

                              • I'm amazed it's taken them so long to put a visor or blinkers on Santini. He's been crying out for them for ages.
