Surprised to see Sizing John double in price today but not complaining as I’ll gladly take some 8/1…
Questions over the yard form and coming back out just 18 days after a seasonal reappearance are good enough reasons to suggest you could put a line through today…Lexus never the most straightforward race formwise…
Might Bite still has a bit to prove for me and the 3rd favourite before today, Yorkhill will surely now not go the GC route?
Sizing John has proved it in March at Cheltenham…better ground and the right prep and I’m sure he’s still the one to beat!
The niggle now is the setback and whether he’ll be the same.
Recent GC winners I think had a trouble free season health wise.Surprised to see Sizing John double in price today but not complaining as I’ll gladly take some 8/1…
I think you are spot on. Other than a few quid on horses at huge prices I haven’t really had a proper bet but have had to smash in to the 8/1.
Yep fully agree guys.
If you can put a line through last run which I’m fully happy to do then he would still be fav for this.Clearly wasn’t his running last time, he’s had a tough campaign more than happy to forgive that run.
Very good chance he comes back to his best for Cheltenham and if he is at his best he will be very tough to beat.
8/1 is a stealMy first bet is Blaklion at 40’s ew. I don’t know if it’s heart ruling the head, as I am a big fan anyway, but I do think he’s up to it.
That’s a good price I think
I believe Thistlecrack is capable of running a big one in March. His last two runs have been encouraging and I think he will improve again if he stays injury free.
I agree about Thistlecrack MOM. He seems to be improving with each run as he regains his fitness. That said it sounded like De Boinville thought Might Bite still had some untapped reserves. I managed to get 10-1 on Might Bite some months back so I’m sticking with him but I would see the main dangers as Thistlecrack, Sizing John and Native River.
Bachason i believe is probably the most likely Mullins horse to win the gold cup this year. He won’t however.
Will be a big ask, but @220s was worth the risk he would put himself in the picture,
Anything could win it at this point, wouldnt dismiss most at this moment
Really sad news, just when the Tizzards got Thistlecrack back within sight of his best.
Value Is EverythingVery sad indeed.
I would have backed him again each way but with his injury record, before going in again, I chose to wait until nearer the time. Glad I did. A terrible blow for the Tizzards on what is proving a tough season for him so far.
As a side note, Blaklion at 40/1 each Way is a great price isn’t it? William Hill offering that price at the moment.
I’m hopeful he’d go for this before the national but of course that’s not a definite
