GD will need something like a Golden Ace incident or the leaders going off at a suicidal pace and the race falling apart to a closer to win. There are far stronger stayers at that trip over that course that he will face……I think he would do well to make the frame in a Gold Cup if the usual suspects show up with their ‘A’ game.
That being said, I don’t think they really have much of a choice at this stage but to roll the dice and try it until they have unrefutable proof that he isn’t up to winning a Gold Cup and have to look elsewhere.
