Not sure if you guys are recording this yet - can you give your opinions on Imperial Aura for the Gold Cup? To me he was the only one travelling who might have given A Plus Tard a race in the Betfair Chase before coming down. The best he’s travelled in a race for a while, still looked to have plenty left. He’s the e/w standout in my opinion as a potential improver over the distance. Granted needs to brush his jumping up but at 50/1 should give a better account than Champ/Eklat De Rire for example who to me aren’t at the top level.
He pulled up at the weekend as well MIJ so I think Allaho has broke him imo.
Doesn’t seem the same this season, jumping errors, now pulled up again. I’d be going as far away from him as you can.

A bit late, but I've got him covered in a couple of bets - think I made a similar argument and compared him to Galvin on their festival run a couple of seasons ago, but he's been terrible this season. Maybe he would have got closer to a plus tard, but UPFP just aren't form figures to have any confidence about now sadly
I do like Heaven Help Us from that list as I try and find a decent horse who is at that right age to put in a peak performance at the Festival and has at least placed or won before. I often find that horses having their third race at the Festival hitting the age of 8 (or a few months off) will put in a top performance. I do allow for a 4th year if that horse has started out at an earlier age or is just a very good horse.
The ones I want to keep on side and that I think will put in a big performance are:
Heaven Help Us (will be 3rd race and age 8) Mares Hurdle - 33/1
Put The Kettle On (will be 3rd race and age 8) Champion chase - 25/1
Nube Negra - (will be 3rd race and age 7 going on 8) Champion Chase 16/1
Fidderlerontheroof - (will be 3rd race and age 7 going on 8) Gold Cup 33/1
Eldorado Allen - (will be 3rd race and age 7 going on 8) Ryanair 33/1
Abacadabras - (will be 4th race and age 7 going on 8) Stayers Hurdle 20/1
Even if I 'm not mad keen on someone like Fiddlerontgheroof I will put him in an each way double with someone like Bob to boost it 92/1 so I don't have a big outlay, but feel I have him covered for a decent bet.
