    Don't understand that at all. Madness.

    • To be clear I am asking if he was Pricewise selection. Not telling. Just my assumption.

        I doubt Kempton was a track that suited and his wexford run was actually pretty good for an Emett first run of season.
        Could see him hunting round and running on at the end.
        Looks a very sparse gold cup at the minute.

          Never going to win though is he ? I'd say very unlikely to place as well. Probably just use it as a prep for GN.

            On the form book, I can understand it. His win in the NH Chase has been franked by Embassy Gardens if taken literally and was then a close 3rd in the Bowl at Aintree behind Gerri Colombe and Ahoy Senor despite being a novice. Personally, not sure he jumps well enough to get involved in a Gold Cup but the potential is there to be out the back and pick up the pieces. He may well end up being the no. 1 McManus horse in the race also (and the only one if FTF goes Ryanair).

              He's given Gerri colombe I believe

                  Have you actually looked at the field ?
                  Aside from Galopin.
                  And this could be JP's (not literally his of course) money. Fact to file on drift in Gold cup market on betfair.

                    Wow. Thanks. That makes the sea of blue for CC even more confusing/mysterious, or maybe baffling is the right word.

                      Just checked again. Gerri Colombe is a sea of red...........made I laugh.

                        Yes. He's been dreadful so far. I'd have plenty in front of him. I'm in the F2F GC camp though and can't see him running in the Ryanair so that makes a big difference.

                        • Il est Francais straight to cheltenham, George favours gold cup or CC over the ryanair, he thinks they'll go for the one that cuts up the most.

                            What kind of mad thinking is that - we think he'll suit the 2m race or the 3m2 race but the mid distance race isn't favoured. I think he'd be a bet in the CC or Ryanair.

                              In the article he thinks the Ryanair may be too competitive

                              But of course, a Champion Chase & Gold Cup are not! What a plum!

                                Utterly bizarre i'd say. He's not a hope in the gold cup in my opinion, but I'd also be a fan in the Ryanair/CC
