2026 Gold Cup

Really needed FTF in Ryan. Blast
 
Majborough - Champion chase
Jonbon - Ryanair
Fact To File - Gold Cup
I think they have to do that. JP got nothing towards the head of the market in the gold cup otherwise

Lots of questions after that race..

Does Paul get off Galopin and onto Gaelic for the big one?
F2F supplemented?
Grey Dawning to Ryanair - might start to look v winnable?
Impaire Et Passe like a phoenix from the flames for the Ryaniar?
Plus lots more..
 
Jango Baie fav for the GC on the back of a 4th in a King George as his sole three mile run...
 
Can’t believe that.
Had FTF as not staying well enough!!
Not beating myself up though, I did have evidence imo.
But will he stay the Gold Cup?
Got to try you would imagine.
 
40 minutes after saying Romeo not going ryanair.
I bet that's got him thinking.
The other 2 races don;t look that appetising.
Personally think he wins nothing though to be fair.
 
Has the reigning champ finished yet?

Unfortunately it does look 1 season too many for GDC

Cant believe gaelic warrior ran so well after pulling that hard

Fact to file is a weird horse. Brilliant some days average on others. Hard to get a handle on him.
 
King George form looking strong for the first time in a while.

I really like Jango and have him backed for the gold cup but will look to have a saver on something in the Denman on Saturday and Jango ryanair. A defeat there could possibly see them switching given the state if the Ryanair!

Yeah I think Gaelic his best chance now.
Would have been much closer today with PT on imo.

Impaire et passe is the scarlet pimpernel of the jump season

Where is he? Are they going to cheltenham fresh? Very strange campaigning

The bookies have had to go odds on Fact to File ryanair.
Tricky for them also.

It's almost impossible to price. Was hoping they'd make a few mistakes but they're ultra defensive.

GW for Ryanair 3/1 NRNB is the best bet for me.

Well if they suppliment F2F for the GC, connections of Romeo might give the Ryanair more serious consideration, I know keep novices with novices, but without F2F it looks a highly winnable race and there's no doubt, for now that is the right trip for the horse.
