I doubt the trainers of GDC and Fastorslow would want to run their horses on heavy ground. They’ll likely wait for the DRF.
Ah HDLG so line up your list of excuses for BMG and BMG only lol
I can see why people are questioning the prices before he was pulled, however, GDC had excuses end of a hard season + trip/jumping on reappearance. He still is 178 and Fastorslow 168 and still has RPRs much higher- don’t have access to TF to confirm theirs. Bookies obviously expecting a different Galopin today rightly or wrongly…..like they expected a different BMG HDLG???

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!With this ground I won’t risk betting any of the favourites. I hope Appreciate It kan surprise. I think 3 miles might be his optimal distance now and he has a tendency to jump left, but has mostly been running on righthanded tracks. He has proven himself on soft/heavy ground in the past. Also added Chruststonewarriors as a saver beccause of his big price and the fact that this might be his goal instead of Cheltenham.
Appreciate It 11/1
Churchstonewarrior 80/1 EWFair to say………so so so good.

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!Masterclass by GDC. Nobody will be close in the Gold Cup if he is on his best level.
Absolutely Awesome.
Nothing touches him in March if he’s in that form.
The RSA has been proven now to be a terrible renewal. Both The Real Whacker and Gerri Colombe put in their place.
I am Maximus was very disappointing as he was in with every chance for 2nd but didn’t stay surprisingly.
That was spectacular
Stuck to my word and backed him once it was clear he was going to be ridden from the front
The change in tactics worked and he will surely get a huge figure for that
Second 180+ of his career?
A magnificent performance by the reigning champion; it’s over to Fastorslow now, to see if he can continue his improvement.
The bar has been set very high indeed, and it’s good to see the “Gold Cup leaves its mark” hoodoo put to bed.
HDLG won’t need to mention the ‘Gold Cup has had an effect’ lines again this season ;o)
How far would he have won the gold cup by last year if he’d been ridden prominently?
“How far would he have won the gold cup by last year if he’d been ridden prominently?”
I didn’t mind the ride last year as its championship pace over 26.5f
Yes, a very good performance and I’m glad he won in such convincing style. Robert and Courtney have nice horses, but this one isn’t a GC contender by any means.
As Gladders pointed out, it’s in Fastorslow’s hands to make a race out of it. The first home today was genuine G1 class, the rest will end up in a GN one day.
