2017 Cheltenham Gold Cup

Is Don Poli likely to run here? 20/1 seems like hes overpriced to me.

The more i think of it, the more i think Djakadam wins this.

Don Poli 99% will run here. Was going to anyway on route to the National... even more likely now.

50/1 was an insult earlier in the season as a previous placed horse.

I love the horse i just want to see him getting his head infront, hopefully Elliott brings the best out of him. I think i'm going to have a nibble at that 20/1
 
Not seen that he is, personally wouldn't fancy him for this, it happens all too quickly for him IMO.

10/1 on BF

Nothing solid, but from an exec at BB?...

Oh wow, very interesting indeed!

Now I definitely, definitely, definitely highlighted Djakadam for (Ryanair) NRNB as soon as it came out... and I backed it. I am still of the opinion it would be MENTAL to send him here, but if I hadn't backed him NRNB, I would after seeing that.

10/1 with Sky NRNB.... Won over that trip earlier in the season against Outlander, wouldn't be a certainty but you'd not be getting anywhere near 10/1!

Sorry I meant he was 9/1 or 10/1 with BF for the GC yesterday.
 
Definitely worth taking note of LR.

I'll admit, I have just been dismissing it. All quotes from connections have suggested Gold Cup (Ruby, Ricci AND Mullins) Ruby has no legitimate GC ride (although PP are only 16s VVM?! haha) and they already have the fav in the Ryanair... I still think it is not going to happen but the NRNB price is completely wrong!
 
I would personally re-route UDS to the CC and Douvan to the Ryanair.

Wha?
Why?
Wha?
:highly_amused:

Probably win both... but I'd rather have Douvan win the CC this year, with a view to him becoming the next Kauto Star (but better, because he'll win a CC:triumphant:).... Paddy Mullins said "you always dream of the next Kauto Star, we've never hidden our admiration for Douvan".... Ruby will want that massive high again. If I wwas him, Ricci or Mullins, I'd be the same.

I'd spit on anyone that suggested the Champion Chase elect being put in the Ryanair.... Muahahha:devilish:

So you want Douvan to fall in front of the stands and the Champion Chase to be won aby a 20/1 rag ( apologies to Newmill) :devilish:
