Ahem, apologies for the late post but: Woot woot! Another Cheltenham winner for my boy! Only had £1 e/w on him as I'd gone for Shadow Catcher, but all the same!
Looking at how they are finishing the Gold Cup could be a slog at the end. They must have put a lot of water on the course. Counts against Kauto and plays to Long Run and Synchrinised. We'll know more after the 3 mile novice hurdle.
Bob's Worth won the Albert Bartlett last year, gotta be another Bob that wins this year! Lots of antepost bets will have Quevega, Big Bucks and Boston Bob in them, bookies want Boston Bob to lose big time! Rocky Creek good E/W bet at 10/1.
I tell you what this is some support for Brinidisi Breeze in the face of the massive plunge on BB and the other stables that are involved, must be a lot of confidence. Sea of Thunder for me and Hard To Swallow for a place.
11/1 is a massive e/w price on Mount Benbulben. Had to take it because Gordon Elliot has aimed him at this ever since he lost to Boston Bob, and he says he pulled muscles during the race last time, hence his right handed jumping. Definite value call but Boston Bob a rightful fav.
Plenty to like about Sea of Thunder and Brindisi Breeze. Very, very interesting step up in trip for Sivola de Sivola but I think the general consensus over in Ireland is that Boston Bob could be top, top notch.
