I don't see any of them as strong candidates for the 2012 Gold Cup - but imo they are all ahead of Grands Crus in the formbook todayhttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/28793617/what-a-race-the-feltham-promises-to-be-with-rsa-and-gold-cup-in-mind?post_id=514636535#514636535Grands Crus has got massive potential for sure, and as I said I think he'll end up better than those 5 named horses.

But on his form in the book, officially assessed, that's where he is. My point is that you said Grands Crus would be at least 3rd on form if he ran in the Gold Cup.
