I hope Boston Bob gets his chance in this next year
I hope Boston Bob gets his chance in this next year
me too – when he puts in a clean round hes always there or there abouts. I fancy him for this.
Bobs Worth seems exceptional value at 10/1.
He seems to have been written off by many on the strength of one poor run (a stone below his previous Gold Cup performance). He has been a tricky horse to train, and I suspect that Henderson is still learning with him, odd as that might seem.
He’s a top class horse with superb festival form, and he’s relatively lightly raced. Get stuck in at 10s.

Joe,you are a good judge but not this time mate.’Bobs Worth’ is totally exposed and will be 10yo come March so there isn’t a pound improvement to be had from him.Admittedly there doesn’t need to be but at the prices I think
Holywell
also a 10/1 chance is that short because he’s a horse who has masses of improvement.Should both run in the Hennessey Bobs Worth gets 11-10 whilst Holywell gets 10-00 stone,if my fellow doesn’t beat yours by 15 length in that I’ll concede to your wiser knowledge.

If Bobs Worth and Holywell meet in the Hennessy with Bobs Worth on 11-10, Holywell would carry 11-01.
Bobs Worth was bitterly disappointing on two of his three starts last season and would much prefer Holywell of the two for the Gold Cup. I was in the Bobs camp last year but as you say Gord he’s not getting any younger and could be vulnerable to an improving type such as Holywell.
Back to the Hennessy, and the slight concern I’d have about Holywell is the fact that Jonjo will probably have him firing on all cylinders for one day only and that will be in March.
If Bobs Worth runs, Djakadam will get in off 10-00. That is surely an attractive proposition for Team Closutton.

Sorry Tommy you are quite right,I was working to 180 Bob, 157 Holy,!!
Having just watched last years gold cup again I can’t help thinking there was something slightly amiss. Can’t put my finger on it, but perhaps the ground after the last fence was better stand side? It’s funny how the two leading horses in the market, ratings, one won the previous gold cup and the other travelling well before falling, were both a good couple of lengths ahead at the last, both had already past Boston Bob, and three horses rated fairly inferior sped by to fight out the finish. It looks like they both fell in a hole far side of the track.
Silviniaco Conti won the King George because he stayed, Bobs Worth won the previous Gold Cup because he stayed, so I don’t but into the fact they both ran a stone below par. They were both in front jumping the last, then got swamped on the run in.
Something doesn’t sit right for some reason, I could be talking jibberish, but just saying what I see.
I don’t think come March either of these two horses will be outside the first three in the market, and certainly don’t see either out of the first four.
If Paul Nicholls says Silviniaco Conti wasn’t finishing his races off last year and they have put that right, he must have a huge chance of winning this time around, especially if Fehily holds him up a bit longer. At 12/1 I think he represents a decent bet.- Total Posts 764
Fingal Bay one to keep on side.
Le Bec and Many Clouds too big at 50s with Stans imo.
Many Clouds
is the 1st son of ‘Bobbing Back’ the dams only other progeny is
The Tullow Tank
a proper 2 miler but Oliver Sherwoods charge is a son of the very average ‘Cloudings’.The sires most successful breeding created
Cloudy Lane
but I can see your selection being a Welsh National sort JJM,obviously these types go on to be Gold cup horses too.50/1 is big I agree but he doesn’t have the pace of
Holywell
.
ThisLe Bec
incidentally got one fence further than
Many Clouds
in the RSA and both horses were still in contention,The very handsome
Don Cossack
gives the collateral form of both excellent credentials but again this fellow wont cope with
Holywell
when he’s tuned up.
Some clues today; S Conti going backwards, Road to Riches and Don Cossack in the picture
Agree with Silviniaco Conti going backwards, but it’s a bit reactive to look too favourably on Don Cossack given his usual disinterested attitude and Road To Riches being one of the only fit horses in his race.
Now’s the time for Holywell and Boston Bob bets. Unless they fall next time up, I doubt they’ll get this long in the Gold Cup market before the off.

Au contraire, I doubt we will see The Tullow Tank over less than 2.5m ever again. A quality stayer.

The Drinmore will be some race with The Tullow Tank, Apache Stronghold and possibly Un Atout.
Seriously impressive from Shutthefrontdoor at Carlisle and no surprised they eyeing him up as a Gold Cup horse. Those who got the 50s sat very pretty indeed.
Thought Many Clouds was impressive, happy with him at 50s too!
Dont write off
Shutthefrontdoor
100/1 just yet,there isn’t a bigger baby in the yard.
One of us has 100/1 JJM.
