2017 Coral Cup

CoD. Old Guard was my very first antepost bet of the 2017 Festival. Unfortunately.. in the Arkle :sorrow:

I totally agree he's got a big chance. On a nice mark, likes Cheltenham and the trip looks ideal. Can only see him shortening.
 
Sorry if I have missed anyone mention this horse but does anyone have any thoughts on Renneti for this or the County?

I've just watched back his last two runs this season and Christ the horse has some talent. On the other hand I appreciate he's an absolute dog (reluctant starter and apparently will down tools if overly pushed) but in his last run he wasn't even asked for an effort and beat Tombstone.

Have convinced myself watching Ruby's last ride on him that he's a plot horse :devilish:

Peregrine Run got a good mention on the RaceHour podcast. Bay of Freedom was dropped into conversation too.

Yes - all over Peregrine Run weren't they. Pretty sure that Roger Loughran rides (hopefully not too tired after Acapella Bourgeois 40 minutes earlier). They said his price will go out but it's best not to forget the owners landed a tremendous gamble when he won his maiden at Down Royal. The mention of Bay of Freedom was a bit of a stretch for Dean (the host) but he interviewed me a couple of years ago and has always been a big supporter. Very kind of him.
 
Big test for Roger, in my opinion. Would be delighted for him to produce it on the biggest stage.
 
When would the runners be confirmed for this? Would it be today, tomorrow or on the morning of?
