Cheltenham Gold Cup 2020

There is an ignore button if anyone feels the need to use it. Click on the username of the poster you'd like to ignore. On left hand menu there is the option to add to ignore list.

No idea if this works but it looks like the option is there.

It does work. A header at the top of individual threads informing you messages hidden as ignored .......

As long as your logged in, stating the obvious.
 
Reckon we’ll have a new Gold Cup fav by 2:30 today ;)

Would be unbelievable if he went fav for winning that. You'd expect al boum or kemboy to win that 10L + without Townend having to get stuck in to them.
 
I'll be backing talkischeap today.
 
Agree - Be stunned if Santini were to go fav today. He’s down in the pecking order for me in this.
 
Talkischeap isnt without a chance here. Just a watching race for me though.
Santini could win by 20 lengths today though and he wouldnt be gold cup favourite
 
Cor, you wouldn't want cash on Santini after that!
 
Easy decision to send Altior for the Gold Cup after that performance if he was ever having any doubts.
 
It's early days but he's fucking slow isn't he ?
 
Not great that, too lazy and doesn't jump well enough for a GC. Will be a national horse in 2021 :)
 
I diddnt like santini anyway, but I think we all have to hold our hands up and say the RSA was shit.

This race could well go to altior, or have a back to back winner imo. With kemboy the big danger.
 
Anyone that agreed the bookies had made those RSA runners bad value can be as smug as they like after that win.

Let's hope they put santini to the right price, 25/1
 
Altior,
Al Boum, Elegant Escape, Presenting Percy
Kemboy

All more chance than
LIT, Santini, Delta Work?



Should be a fun race to analyse if the market shuffles around.
 
A lazy old boat...

Have no doubt he's better than that.. He beat the runner up by over 20+ lengths in the RSA
but he's still 8/1 with many and gone out top price 12/1 for the Gold Cup which is mental.

I had been relying on the Ladbroke to get him onside which obviously went sour.
Couldn't touch him at all right now. And he looks very hard to place now throughout the season.
You wouldn't fancy him going over to Ireland over Christmas
 
SANTINI has always looked slow. It’s Hendo’s promotion of him that has people thinking he is a Gold Cup horse. Maybe soft ground next March could see him doing a Native River and slogging it out to a win, if the others are more inconvenienced by that ground.

I couldn’t see him being a GC winner without slow ground.
