On his victory there last season, his run in the Gold Cup and the fact that he’s been allowed time to recover (maybe Kauto Star is suddenly third in the Ditcheat pecking order), nothing should get near him.
Thanks, LGR.
I don’t suppose this will produce as much interest on this forum as did Kauto Star’s post- Cheltenham run.
I can’t imagine it, Sean, but he’s a lovely horse nonetheless and the 13/8 on offer at present looks fair enough. Mossbank can be the only real challenger on anything achieved this season, but I’d still expect him to be held comfortably by Neptune Collonges (the fact that New Alco is close to third in the market speaks volumes).
We shall see, I’m sure.
Whatever happens, I’ll not be starting threads full of excuses.
The Cheltenham run was very good.Who will ride, I wonder?
Difficult to see past Neptune winning it again. Mossbank going right handed again on drying ground would be interesting at a big price.
I can’t agree with LGR NC is far from being a god thing. He may well win but this race will put everything back into proportion and show how much of a fluke his gold cup run was. He’s not gping to have an easy time and it will expose him as being nothing special…..for me he wouldn’t live with Kauto Star or Denman when they are on song.
I much prefer the chance of Mossbank who ran a cracker behind Our Vic and Denman……..he will be much better suited by this distance than he was in the Ryanair.
NC will be very short and Mossbank could start at very generous odds and is much more likely to run up to his best form. I will have no hesitation backing him to turn NC over.
I agree it looks between the 2 but I’m in the Neptune camp, though I’d want a bit bigger than 13/8 to have a bet. My worry about Mossbank is that his form seems to tail off every season after the Autumn: he’s never won after November and may need to be fresh to give his best.
Who will ride, I wonder?
What, Neptune Collonges? I’d be surprised if Ruby wasn’t riding him, since he won on him last year. The only other horse I could feasibly see him riding is Pomme Tiepy, but I’d assume she’s more likely to line up in the novice chase. The rest of Willie Mullins’ entries are either unlikely runners or no hopers.
Not agreeing with me, Fists, surely not
Mossbank has run well in defeat this season, there’s no denying that, but Neptune Collonges has improved on the previously smart handicap form he had shown and we know that he can win at Punchestown. He’ll go on any ground, is a sound jumper and has all the requisite qualities to retain his crown.
No, he isn’t anything special, but who said he was?
He is however a worthy favourite and by far the likeliest (comfortable) winner.

Hey mouth of god of knoweldge ive told you before and ile tell you again quit slating our horse, as ya p*ssing us off, with ya none stop griping about him…………!!!!!!!!!!
i think we have heard your opinion on this horse once to often lately, well i cetainly have>>>>>>>>> how many good horses do you own by the way???????? get a life oh alsofor everyone ruby is infact riding neptune as he always does unless he not there or on kato as funny enough fist but ruby thinks he is a very good horse but i presume you know better than ruby aswell do you????????????????? lol
To be fair he was only offering an opinion, beckster, even if it is going to cost him a fortune when Mossbank doesn’t win. The point he makes about Neptune Collonges not touching Kauto Star or Denman is fairly pointless though, given that Mossbank wouldn’t either (and don’t try to convince me that Denman was ‘on song’ in the Lexus).
no im sorry its all he ever does not just on this post but every1 about neptune,, and im total sick of it………….no1 has sais he is kato or denman but doesent mean to say hes crap and his run in gold cup was gfluke…. also before chelt he was saying nipper shouldent even go to chelt>>. i mean thats not an opinion thats bullshit lol x
Bexster is a stroppy filly thats for sure. She’ll make someone a dragon of a wife.
Only joking Bex, don’t start on me as well lol.
