'A' could be an issue if he makes the Red Mills.
 
Even if PP wins the Red Mills he would then need to create history as no winner of the RM has won a CGC. Just saying....

It could, it could also not be?

If he loses a leg it could be an issue.

If Kemboy is as good as you hope it could be an issue?




You we're making the point about trends, and I dismissed it, is that all that is left? :p Have you given up? :p
 
You actually used the trends to support Percy whereas the only thing you really have is:

:devilish:
 
Touché :highly_amused:

Of course, times are notoriously unreliable on different days especially in Ireland where the race distance is given as the same but hasn't been measured to the yard. Just measuring from the replays very roughly the Savills time was 6m 6.5s and the final circuit took 3m 34s. The IGC time was 6m 6.7s and the final circuit took 3m 36s. Make of that what you will.

Maybe a better measure is The Storyteller. If you have him running the same in both races you can say that Bellshill and Road To Respect have come on 4 or 5 lengths. That would probably be accounted for by extra fitness for Bellshill and RTR avoiding the slips from the Savills.

Either way, even if he hasn't come on from the Savills, and he is in fine shape at the moment, Kemboy still holds yesterday's duo on the bare form. Cheltenham will be a proper test of jumping and a race to savour even before the Red Mills which should be even more informative than yesterday.

Ruby said The Storyteller improved from Christmas, maybe that's wishful thinking.
 
Odds for Ruby Walsh's Gold Cup ride...

1/3 - Bellshill
5/2 - Al Boum Photo
8/1 - Kemboy

Not a surprise given David Mullins is likely to keep the ride on Kemboy after his masterclass last time out. A cracking jockey over a fence. Kemboy would be my pick of the Mullins 3 in this race
 
...Gary Nutting gone for Al Boum Photo and Shattered Love as his ante-Post bets in this on the ATR festival website.
 
Hey guys,
I'd prefer Frodon to run in the ryanair as he's a shorter price and I want to lay him. He's done me a favour or two this season but i'll be firmly against him come march.

He won on his debut in France as a 3 year old in April 2015. Since then he's ran 5 times in March/April in the UK and has been beaten a
combined total of 146 lengths!! Not sure the festival is at the right time of the year for Frodon.

You'll be able place lay him.
 
Been watching last year's festival and now totally convinced Shattered Love can be a factor in this if Gordon has him right on the day. Originally wanted to watch to examine Kemboy's course performance - given he made a pretty bad mistake he ran okay but, for me, Shattered Love with the allowance is the one to take out of last year. Have a watch and see what you think...

I remember HER performance all too well unfortunately, but I think she'd be better suited to the Ryanair myself. Obviously she won't go there now, GE is adamant it is the Gold Cup for her!

Her form this season has been pretty bad though
 
Her form last season was on soft/heavy. i don't think she has liked the ground this season she came back with sore shins after the Lexus.
