Dunno about that Beefy - the Gold Cup was 3m 2f on soft ground, this is 2m 4f on good. Some difference.
My thinking this should suit him perfectly. Won a Galway Plate over the trip in summer good ground which he bounces off, obviously a much lesser race but shows he loves better ground. I think he was empty on the soft ground last year at the end so shorter trip also may help.
I think he should go well anyway and think he was super value today at 8/1 each way.
Not impressed by the Ricci antics with Vautour, piss poor show tbh. Punters screwed over. Ironically for those hoping he gets turned over it actually validates their 'story'.
