Does anybody have a burning desire to start the Gold Cup, Champion Hurdle or Champion Chase 2019 threads? I've already done the Stayers Hurdle one and I'm happy to do the others over the next couple of weeks but the floor is open for anybody else who wants to do a bit of a preview....

Originally posted by Native River View PostHad my free bet come back the other day from Skybet from Spain being knocked out the world cup, decided to get it on Samcro, Laurina & Footpad any race 28/1
1) Champion Chase
2) Ryanair
3) Gold Cup
4) Champion Hurdle
If he goes for the Champion Chase, which is surely the most likely target, he would be taking on the brilliant Altior. Quite frankly, Footpad wouldn’t finish within five lengths of Altior. You’d need Altior to miss the race for Footpad to win that.
If he goes Ryanair, he’s likely to be involved in one of the best Ryanair’s of the modern era. Even with 8 months to go, it looks like being an absolute corker of a race. I’d have him at about 7/1 at this stage for that if I was a bookie.
If he goes Gold Cup, which is apparently a real possibility, he’s taking on Might Bite on ground better than heavy (you’d expect) which makes MB a high class stayer. And he’d be taking on Presenting Percy who could really be anything. Plus his best asset of being a superb jumper at fast speeds would be gone in a staying test. I’d have him at double figures for the race at this stage.
If he goes back to hurdles in that very weak division (though it’s unlikely that he would), he’d lose his main strength of jumping fences. So again that’s very very unlikely.
For those reasons, i couldn’t have footpad with counterfeit for these any race bets. He just isn’t value imo.

Originally posted by archie View PostIt wouldn't surprise me to see Altior step up in trip this season. Took quite a while to get going at both Cheltenham and Sandown and you don't get any quicker as you get older.
And Footpads winning time at Cheltenham was almost 5secs quicker than Alitors winning time.
