Don't think King wants to run him in the gold cup at all but the owners are keen, however this is a horse who i think can run up to around 170 and will like the step up in trip, i give him a chance of being placed and if Kauto is not 100% then 2nd place is up for grabs. Previous thread about him being at his best earlier in the season makes a lot of sense but on basic ability he's better than most in the gold cup
