Awesome performance by Native River. Cracking run by old boy Raz De Maree as well who was unlucky to meet NR today in the race.
So Mr Tizzard, which horse would you like to win the Gold Cup with? Awesome of top weight and massive after-timer from me. Did say he was my bet of the week though
Excellent performance from Native River- winning two of the most competitive handicaps of the NH season. That gives him every right to run in a Gold Cup and he won't lack for stamina.
One things for certain, if the GC is a stamina test then Native River will be ploughing on up the hill.
NE went off 6/1 wouldn't have touched him at that price...I went out for a coffee and just saw the final sp now!
You see the last there? Right decision to let the ressie stand you feel? Timmy Murphy was riding that day Nass not Baker iirc???
The GC will end up with Thistlecrack, Coneygree, Djakadam and 2 rags running! Surely one race wouldn't put you off giving Cue Card his chance. He was running a massive race in the GC last year.
Had a good day so win bet on Aye Aye Charlie in the Chepstow bumper - took 5/2 a few mins ago, smashed in to 7/4
