<b>Poquelin – P.Nicholls</b>
Should have a good chance in Paddy Power Gold Cup.
Ran well at Ascot today……..Course specialist
He did run well indeed, Wyldeside. He just didn’t quite stay the three miles.
I like Poquelin too but think he is quite exposed compared to a lot of them. Maybe he’ll be more effective in the Boylesports Gold Cup (or whatever they call it now) when the second-season novices have all shown their hands and been mullered by the handicapper. I hope Harry Derham gets the ride too, as he’ll need the 7lb claim from his likely top-weight.
Good points you make
Young Fella
, but Poquelin’s credentials for this race seem water tight.
Loves Cheltenham, lightly raced last season and in the previous season beat
Great Endeavour
, the winner of last year’s Paddy Power Gold Cup into second place in the Boylesport aka Vote A.P. McCoy Gold Cup over the same course & distance.
It’ll be interesting to see what Nicholls actually runs in the race as he seems to have half his stable entered {8 at the last count}
At around 25/1 as we speak it looks good value.
Having said all this it might fall ! !
Best of Luck ! !
