We had some interesting reasoning last night over a dozen pints.Getting 3 horses to Cheltenham is never easy, winning 3 races is much more difficult. Very sad to lose Vautour but it once again illustrates that it is even money picking a runner at the festival in October, never mind a winner.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30670641/douvan-vautour-faugheen?post_id=550397563#550397563Getting 3 horses to Cheltenham is never easy, winning 3 races is much more difficult.

My View is just that if Douvan does end up running in the Gold Cup, then he certainly won't be a 14-1 shot which he is now because he will have already proved he stays 3M+(King George).

The owner and trainer have loads of ammo for the staying chases and Douvan the standout 2m novice chaser from last season look ideal to dominate at the distance where the competition ishttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30670641/douvan-vautour-faugheen?post_id=550096719#550096719I'd be shocked if Douvan is not trained for the Champion Chase.

Even more interested in Douvan being placed in the direction now Gigginstown are in opposition, and not stablemates.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30670641/douvan-vautour-faugheen?post_id=550096601#550096601JB23, me too for the Gold Cup.
