Originally posted by JackieMoon33 View PostI'm not sure of the sectionals but Native River and Champagne West were the two prominent runners and neither of them like to hang about. It probably wasn't a break neck pace but I'd say it was decent enough. Also, the way Minella Rocco flew home makes me think some horses were tiring too.

Originally posted by Hurricane fly View PostDecent early sighting of some possible GC hopefuls on Thursday
Disko, Outlander, Carlingford Lough, Minella rocco
Come GC day I'll be able to convince myself on any of them although CL is now 11
Road to Respect on the other hand i expect to be a big improver tomorrow and hopefully his gold cup price gets slashed as Im on at sexy odds to pennies lol

Posted this in the antepost thread but will put it here aswell...
Just had a very brief chat with Jonjo O'Neill jnr at Nottingham. Theyd be disappointed if Minella Rocco didnt get very close to winning tomorrow and it didnt need confirming but gold cup the aim again

Triple Crown "dream" not dead for anyone on at 50s...
Hendo:
Might Bite
He was in the process of clocking a time about five or six second faster than what Thistlecrack took to win the King George and proved himself to be an outstanding novice with victories in the RSA and the Mildmay. I think the King George will be his prime objective in the first half of the season and he might be ready to go for the Betfair Chase beforehand.
***edit, just hoping actually this is latest news....ATR stable tour, I hadn't seen before today?

Im really looking forward to seeing how Acapella Bourgeois gets on in the hands of Willie Mullins. I'd like to think WM will have a real Gold Cup challenger if, as I believe, he'll improve this horse out of all recognition. Oddschecker state that they've taken more bets than any other horse for the Gold Cup. Interesting.

I do see the point completely l, with sub lieutenant last year and total recall this year improving beyond all recognition, but the gold cup is a whole different thing, you cant make use of a handicap Mark, and unless it's soft to heavy, I could personally see him being tailed off
If anyone took a Chance at 50s good luck to you, but at current odds I'd be very surprised if there's any value in his pricehttps://scooby91horseracingtips.com/

The forgotten horse in this race is Coney Island. He had to miss Cheltenham but had some great Novice form last season and was only half a length second to Our Duke in a hot novice race including Disko in third. Given what Our Duke has gone on to do and the fact Coney Island is so lightly raced and potentially open to vast improvement, at the odds he looks good value.

I am struggling to remember whether they were leaning towards JLT or RSA with him last year before getting injured?
