I’m willing to forgive him that last run Ista, I think it came too soon after the John Durkan for SJ & Djakadam. SJ was very impressive in the John Durkan so I’ll take a chance on forgiving him the run last time out. -
Sean, I’ll forgive any horse a poor run but he finished the course and on very deep ground that is an horrific trend to overcome in the Gold Cup (as was discussed some weeks ago)Comment

Hopefully the fact that he’ll have had 11 weeks to get over that run will make a difference. Jessys very good at prepping horses for a big run.Comment

Even if Sizing John runs up to last year’s form I’d be surprised if that’s enough to win it this time. Minella Rocco was closing last year and even though I like him and expect his best run in the Gold Cup again this year, Minella Rocco has been put in his place this season, notably by Road To Respect. Add in Might Bite, Killultagh Vic and I would think Sizing John would need a better effort to win this time round. He’s surely not got that in his locker, especially after his prep this time roundComment

I am surprised Sizing John isn't getting more support. The Christmas Chase came too soon, Jesse said it and the horse returned 'clinically abnormal' after the race. He is now fine and will have had nearly 3 months to prep for the race. He will more than likely get his ground generally performs very well when fresh. 7/1Comment

I think looking at horses that have won back to back Gold Cups you are talking about a very elite group.
In fairness to sizing john he won the 3 "gold cups" which hadn't ever been done ...
It does look a stronger renewal to me. I'm not dismissing Sizing John but I've not seem him at an attractive price yet this seasonComment

Change of plan for Total Recall who now goes here ahead of his National tilt!Comment

Shouldn’t really win having narrowly beaten Whisper in the Ladbrokes Trophy receiving weight- would require a lot of improvement.Comment

Oh dear. I cashed out my wife's £20 at 50/1 a few weeks ago, telling her he had absolutely no chance. I'll never hear the end of it if TR wins the GC.Originally posted by Viking Flagship View PostComment

Total Recall has absolutely no hope at all of winning the Gold Cup, or placing, on ANY of his form whatsoever.
Unbelievably over hyped for winning the Hennessy off a low weight.
Pulls way to hard to get home even if he was good enough, which he isn't. He isn't a boat either. Literally no chance. I'd give you 50/1 still

NTD on Blaklion: "If he wins by miles, then we may have to think about the Gold Cup"
Maybe not all is lost for those with Blaklion tickets just yet!Comment
