Just throwing one out there but what do we think of Bellshill as a gold cup horse?

I like it. Have him at 90's which I am very happy with

Followed paddy in and backed MIN for the melling chase at 12/1 . Obviously risks attached but I follow my own system.

We all know that altior/ top notch/ balko des flos and douvan don't run.

I DO NOT KNOW THAT MIN RUNS HERE. But pp/bf is my guide. And im happy to take the risk.

And more likely if Altior isn't running.

I think they'll keep Min in Ireland but 12/1 is worth a poke

Iv gone pretty heavy on min.

They've got great field/ uds/ douvan/ min to split up. And he'd still have the option of running in both.
Complete punt on PP cutting him from 12s to 4/1 and pushing out the rest of the mullins batallion. The race is so easy to win he'd be evens at best if he does run. And That is an if.

Runners IMO

cloudy dream
MIN
God's own
Frodon
Lami serge
Sub lieutenant
Charbel ?

A genie in a bottle found dead in the stable. RIP. Mentioned it before but a 'hall of fame' here would be good I think

If he runs, you’ve absolutely nailed this lads.

Cracking stuff. Unfortunately I didn’t see this but I wish you all luck.

I'm inclined at the very least to wait until the National has been run but with the sad news of Cause of Causes retirement today, i'm slightly drawn towards the SkyBet special of

Tiger Roll to win the Cross Country 2019 - 7/1

Which hasn't and may get overlooked on the back of that news. No firm looks to have the race up yet, but I doubt you'll be getting that price by many, especially not with no CoC in there.

The winning distance wasn't as far as CoC in 2017 but he was just as impressive through the race - always in control at the end and they were 11 lengths away from the third.

He would be 9 years old next festival, currently off 150. The Ultima or even Gold Cup could be possibilities but i'd still say it's very very likely he comes back for the same race.

3 times festival winner, reigning champion...
Deja vu...?

Two reasons I hadn't backed this so far...

1. Cause of Causes on better ground
2. CoC was 10/1 and (mainly 9/1) ... however that doesn't/shouldn't really affect whether TR is value

After the national I'll have a look at it again. No real rush IMO - although point 1 is not relevant so I perhaps should.
