It’s Grey Dawning who seems to be the forgotten horse in the field to me.
I’ll be having some 14’s in the morning.
“I’ll be having some 14’s in the morning.”
He will want soft ground conditions in March to be seen to best effect, so something to consider if you want to risk it now.
He would absolutely be seen to best effect on soft Mike. But he’s put down a serious performance at Haydock. And crucially in comparison to others either hasn’t had a hard race. Or, in comparison to inothewayurthinkin and ftf performed well when he was expected to.
Did Bafta see Cromwells performance , if so he should clear a place n the mantlepiece , the bookies haven’t fell for it , next time look out for the movement side to side of the course and you’ll know the horse is spot on again
Maybe the Gold Cup curse has struck last season’s winner but as HDLG says, the bookmakers were not fooled and I doubt many punters were either.
I took the 6/1 yesterday. I expect him to run better in February and then be favourite on The Day That Matters.
If he wins, I wonder how many pundits will question the runs in the Durkan and the Savills?
I would find it disappointing should Inothewayurthinkin win. I like to see the winner have some decent form figures to their name and not 5s and 9s. His overall chase record though is 25% wins to runs and combine that with places it is 50%.
The more I know the less I understand.
Although he is gonna be 10, I could not resist the 7/1 for Galopin des Champs. Let’s start a rain dance already.
Galopin des Champs 7/1
Bend what’s his form at Cheltenham in March … The bookies haven’t forgotten and neither have I , Cromwell has one job , March , I get people may not like it but go back and watch last year’s race , nobody has destroyed GDC like that before , he put him to bed with cocoa and a teddy bear in 3/4 strides
Wonder if connections will consider supplementing Panic Attack for this if nothing imposes itself between now and the confirmation stage? She was stunning today – the best round of jumping I have seen for many a year.
She’s very talented but that would be a step to far , if she was mine id be thinking Aintree Bowl , she’s a wee superstar and Bobby must love her to
Go for it
A horse sired by Canford Cliffs winning a Cheltenham Gold Cup
Frankel. who?Charles Darwin to conquer the World
She’s a quality jumper, got the trip well enough in The Coral Gold Cup, gets an allowance, what’s not to like?
If the horse is fit and well and in form which appears very much the case then don’t be left guessing at home in the stable.She’s got mountains to find , surely if you want to find if she’s graded level then you,d find something easier
She would receive the allowance and jumps well. But she has only won two handicaps and a Listed race at long odds on. I can’t see that being anywhere near good enough to compete with Grade 1 horses.
It’s the jumping with Inothewayurthinkin
I’ve seen Gold Cup winners run below their best before but they tend to race sluggishly and finish tamely
Cromwell’s horse seems to forget which sport he’s in and it’s mostly the incredible engine he’s got which won him the Gold Cup
Yard had an abysmal November, brief respite in December with 9 winners but are now back in the doldrums, making it 10 winners from 234 runners since November 1st
