Given his selection is going to be a double figure price i am guessing he is gonna forgive cue card his rsa run and put it up.I was pretty impressed with that - Midnight Chase and Time for Rupert were 5th & 6th (?) in the Gold Cup - I doubt either was wound up today, but he beat them very easily. Maybe Wayward Prince holds down the form?In any case, I take today as a boosthttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/29467151/pricewise-gold-cup-selection-this-thursday?post_id=525752633#525752633I was pretty impressed with that - Midnight Chase and Time for Rupert were 5th & 6th (?) in the Gold Cup - I doubt either was wound up today, but he beat them very easily.

It's like putting a favourite jigsaw together every year.

The Feltham was a strange race because they went off at suicide pace so it's not easy to judge.

Also on For Non Stop at approx 23s have layed back at 10s, as think last week was his Gold Cup as impressive as he was.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/29467151/pricewise-gold-cup-selection-this-thursday?post_id=525696871#525696871Backed Flips at about 57s on here last week not sure if good enough but was too big so free bet to trade some out.
