Hi new to the forum but love my racing and just wanted to air my view on the Gold Cup. I have narrowed it down to Silvinaco Conti or Long Run. Whilst I agree there is a negative about SC not having the form in the book at Cheltenham and Nicholls last chase winner was Kauto Star in 2009 I think? I still believe the horse is IMPROVING rapidly. He has travelled well and jumped well in all his races this yr and even seems to possibly have more up his sleeve IMO. I thought Nicholls appeared almost struggling to contain his delight after his last run and even said they have left a bit to work with on him as well. I also struggle to discount Long Run as hes never been out of the top three in any race. I accept he may be not quite as good as he was but still seems to find something when he needs to.He has the Cheltenham form and Im sure he will be ready for his big day. He does appear to be labouring at times and we all know about his jumping frailties but he still seems to produce a placed finish at worst. It makes you wonder if he did have one race where his jumping was slick (unlikely admittedly) how easily he may have won previous races . At Long Runs price I think he is good EW value. It would be ridiculous to suggest that these 2 are the only ones with a chance as realistically there are 5 or 6 possible winners. I still believe SDC can play a massive role if in the form of last yr but Im not convinced he is and Cape Tribulation could run a big race as a big improver. Time will tell but its certainly no easy betting heat. Good Luck to all who have a bet!!
