Gold Cup - Who you backing ??

Denman

The Tank

Willie Mullins is very hot on Kempes

Long Run

Imperial Commander. Almost by default.

does anyone else fancy kempes?

have backed long run and pandorama but need rain badly

Kempes would be a danger but performed poorly at Cheltenham last time. If ground goes soft then Pandorama comes into play.

is there any rain on the way?

still undecided might as well get my 5 year old pic think a good few in with a great shot

i agree, most open gold cup i can remember. Look for value i guess.

very very open,

Imperial Commander is still the one to beat. It will take a huge performance to beat him.

Kauto last big win

with one this open gotta go with youth-Long Run.

I am ignoring my number one rule which is to back what I want to happen and not what I think will happen by backing that gutsy battling improver of Mulholland's

I backed Pandorma at 20/1. How the F was I to know it would end up fast.

However on this ground I have a feeling history is about to be made  and Kauto Star will turn the clock back and take the prize again.

Nothing ...a guessing game ,imo . Good luck if you have a firm view ,though.

Kauto Star (Nap)

Long Run

I have backed Imp. Commander and Long Run ante post and see no reason to back anything else at the moment.

As long as they drop it right out and get it popping away, there's one horse that could be flying home when the early pace-setterrs, non-stayers start dropping away.

It has to be Tidal Bay.

Pandorama unlikely to run if no significant rain.

long run fer me , hes the new kauto star

Kauto Star - one last big effort
Tidal Bay e/w - flying up the hill to nick a place

LONG RUN
PANDORAMA

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE DENMAN WIN BUT MY HEAD IS RULING MY HEART.

Pandorama e/w

KS if you are near the course get out in your garden and do a rain dance now. If you don't know how, just do a John Cleese funny walk

haha will give it a go !

stats say we have a new winner today

kempes - has to improve out of recognition
pandorama - ground has to be a great worry

so long run it is - e/w at 5/1

neptune collonge

Twiston-Davies.

Know your Mohicans

I have covered Long Run with Kempes everything has fallen in his lap re conditions, others statistically too old, however the trainers deplorable record in Cheltenham Championship races until this year a big negative for me.

eric

do you not think Kempes is outclassed on OR though?

nearly 2 stone with long run...

The conditions are going to be v fast, the old boys will struggle with this imo, big question mark over my bet Long Run re the ground also and Pandorama. Could make it wide open to an improver who will love the conditions.

Kempes? tailed off and pulled up is my guess on him. Won anothing race last time and isn't bred to get 3 miles let alone 3m2f round here.
