Coneygree's Gold Cup? I can't be having that Im sure loads of people do this but if you have 2 screens (eg an ipad and a pc) its great fun running races together at the same time.

Without Thistle and the doubts over Coneygree I can see Cue Card going off at evens in March.Sun, 18 Dec 2016 12:41:05 -0600https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30762763/horses-winning-their-first-gold-cup-at-their-third-attempt?post_id=550670999#550670999Cue Card didn't look as impressive in the KG as in his other races last season but running down Vautour over a tight 3 miles was probably an awesome effort in hindsight.

He has as good a chance as anything else in the race but the worry is he keeps finding something too good.

Djakadam has been second in 2 above average gold cups and still is just a 7 yo. His best days should be ahead.
