    Anyone think Captain Chris could be good value in the Gold Cup betting w/o LR and KS? 14/1 available at the moment.

    I like Captain Chris and he goes well at Cheltenham, although there are doubts about whether he'll stay?

    I'm all over Alan King's runners in the handicaps tomorrow - Julio and Bless The Wings, might have a saver on Nicholls/Walsh in the last - That'll Do. Check out his last run at Cheltenham early in the season in a fast time <ok>

    30 minutes then I'm off to the airport ........................ soooo fecking excited

    I like Captain Chris too. I said I wouldn't back him after his Argento effort but he schooled well on that RPTV video the other day. He ones of not very many who could be good enough in my opinion. If he goes anything like his best he'll be in the first 5 anyway.

    Grands Crus goes for the RSA and not the Gold Cup. Correct decision IMO.

    Cheers Zen, that's what I was thinking, if he's at his best then 14/1 for a top 5 finish could look big!

    Grands Crus RSA-bound.


    I thought he'd run very well in the Gold Cup this year but hopefully they get the rewards long-term.


    Waiting to see the final entries for the RSA- I thought Sir Des Champs could test him because he has a touch of speed to go with his stamina, but he's looking Jewson bound. Can't see First Lieutenant getting near him, Bobs Worth will run well. Real shame Invictus is not there.

    Does anyone have any thoughts as to why Paul Townend does not seem to get many outside rides at Cheltenham?

    Absolutely baffling to my mind.

    and Last Instalment - looks like we've been robbed of a potential classic there. Maybe all 3 will line up in the King George if we are lucky?

    Definitely the right decision on Grands Crus. I hope the horse runs well, but would be a lay for me.
