Already looks like he'll stay all day, and they can test his stamina bHe looked beaten but just managed to get up to win the Punchestown Gold Cup beating Djakadam. It is not an exactly scintillating performance but the trip was 2f shorter than the Cheltehnam Gold Cup and he was doing his best work at the finish; Coneyghttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30789275/sizing-john---gold-cup?post_id=551767985#551767985He looked beaten but just managed to get up to win the Punchestown Gold Cup beating Djakadam.

Very unlikely but if so, will be a massive downgrade and seen as Altior avoidance. I think Douvan will remain a Champion Chase contender next season but will also be entered for the King George, Gold Cup and Ryanairhttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30789275/sizing-john---gold-cup?post_id=551454415#551454415Douvan in the Ryanair next season?

He is a tempting 7/1 with 'Billies' especially so if Thistlecrack is not a certainty to show up; Might Bite is 5/1 for the same race.
