  • If I were the owners i'd be throwing everything I could at winning 3 Gold Cups in a row, regardless of whether it's ABP or Melon.

    Could you also not take the limited sample size of Shishkin and Asterion Forlonge running in the Supreme that they are perhaps not worried about multiple runners in a race?

      There’s literally NOTHING to suggest Min won’t like the hill.

      He’s done well up that hill for the last 5 years.

      He won this season to show his well-being, his forms being boosted left, right and centre and he is being aimed at the race. He’s still the one for me here. Though I must admit to fancying SC at the prices too.

              • Would be good to see Min finally get his head in front of Altior

                • Altior would have to be a lot better than at Christmas to win this- he’d be fascinating at his best over this trip but of course we just don’t know for certain whether he will be A1 on the day.

                        • Have any of you given up on Samcro for this?? He’s drifted out to 16’s after 2 poor races on the bounce even if his last was experimental. Do you think we’ve seen his peak or he’s still a threat in this race??

                            I don't see how anyone could rule him out.

                            Can be forgiven for the run last week given Gordon's cloud at the moment.

                            He'll rock up a dual festival winner at the distance (near enough). I'd wait for some firms to go NRNB just to see what the difference is.... just in case they go for the Gold Cup as they maybe see him as not having anything to lose, and the Gold Cup matters much more.

                              I think the talk for most of this season has been about him stepping up in trip so, for me, it's hard to consider parting with cash if the target is not certain, but that is always the issue with this race, full of potential champion chasers who don't quite possess the speed and potential Gold Cup horses who don't quite stay, when they land here it's largely because they fail at other targets...

                              • Muggy way to play perhaps but... which were the NRNB bookmakers because whatever his chance, Altior NRNB Ryanair would be value on the day if he ended up running there, surly he wouldn’t go off any larger than 5/1?
