    I’m gonna have €1 each-way on Cerium at 500/1 in the hope that Davy Russell can get him jumping out the back and then maybe pick off beaten horses on the run-in to steal third!

    Had Denman not run so abysmally last time out, I would have remained faithful. Unless the Denman of 2008 turns up, he won’t be winning. That said, if he touches 5s, I will dabble each way, by way of insurance.

    I have already backed Kauto Star in a single win bet – along wih Quevega (won) in a win double bet.

    Overall, I don’t think this is particularly strong Gold Cup – the front two apart – so with a clear round, and on this ground, I expect Kauto Star to bolt up.

    i would rather spend the £1 e/w on 2 tins of beer instead of 500/1 and 100/1 mon mome cerium shots.

    It has to be Kauto Star, just got even money with a local bookie’s special offer.

    Been against Denman but am wavering now. Saw Denman at Newbury in the paddock, had a poor coat. But on TV looks shining today. Totally different horse.

    Everything in the field has been backed ffs. Would like to stay loyal to my old friend Carruthers, but he’s looking like going off at 20-1! Mrpointment has even been backed! What a shower.

    I would eat some more humble pie, but following Sizing Europe’s win, i havent got any left.

    Ok, Imperial Commander will stay!

    Fantastic run from Twister’s horse, such a quiet build up from the trainer too, under the radar and he has come up with that, amazing performance.

    Great run from Denman too.

    Who’d have funk it? looked to be a proper GC winning effort, that. Highly likely he’d have taken care of Kauto today even without the mistake.

    I’d have been of that opinion too, Kauto wasn’t going a yard today.

    Twister said he knew he would win.

    Who would say anything against him.

    Fantastic training performance.

    I like Imperial Commander for this. Great record at the track the Kempton run was nonsense (don’t know why they sent him after his 08 run there) so i won’t worry about that and he’s apparantly in cracking form.

    I like Denman also but after he crossed the finish line in the Henessy he stopped, head down and looked ruined as the other horses ran on. I thought then he’ll never run a race like that again, and i just hope he gets round in one piece.

    Imperial Commander pulling away from Kauto Star up the hill with Cooldine taking third.

    Hell yeah. Over a grand up!

    Have to say aswell, im not too keen on the way Ruby gets back on horses that have fallen, and im talking from a health perspective. Yes, the horse may seemingly be ok, but you shouldn’t get back on and canter back to the saddling boxes.

    Well done to IC and all connections.

    Well done to Ruby too who was up like a light to stop KS from running away after his fall.

    Thats a good horse. Won very well. Not taking anything away from IC but Denman didnt seem to get into a jumping rhythm like when he won. Agree that IC would have beat Kauto if he had not fallen
