Yes mate,he stayed on over 2m5,but he ruined his chances with jumping right handed mate,and he has to do that again but this time over a lot further.
Yes his forms better this season but that coincides with going right handed which hes obviously more comfortable with and brings out his obvious talent. With Long Run,i really think hes as good as last years race,and will stick by that. Unless its soft i cannot see him anywhere near winning this year. |

Alleged,
Why is an Arkle winner getting tapped for toe in a 2m5 race? Just dont make sense to me,unless hes not enyjoying himself doing something he dont like maybe?? |

By:
i didnt think he jumped to bad in last years ryanair compared to his other races that season
cmon budd even over the arkle distance you have to stay, when he won that arkle it screamed stayer to me and he has been campaigned over longer distances since then, now im not saying CC will win the GC, this is TGB is the value for the GC thread but imo CC is much better value, in fact i wouldnt touch TGB with a barge pole if im honest |

The exciting thing about Silviniaco Conti is that if Nicholls is to be believed he wasn't fully fit last time and may be capable of better.
I see a couple of firms have shortened him today so think the 5/1 NRNB is worth taking. I can't see any obvious reason why he wouldn't handle Cheltenham looking at the way he runs. Bobs worth hasn't had an ideal preparation and SDC has to improve on what he's shown but both of the excel at Cheltenham it seems. Fascinating race. |

tapped for toe is probably the wrong phrase, he was consistently 5th on the 1st circuit, when the other horses/jockeys were trying to get into the race, he got shuffled back from 5th to 9th, you cant run through horses so had to check stride and lost momentum

Yes mate,he is more of a stayer than a 2miler,but nevertheless he still beat a future QM winner,and i would still expect him not to be tapped for toe in a 2m5 race,unless he aint himself.
I honestly think he aint happy going left handed.All his best form for some time has been right handed. Anyway,we disagree on him and TGB.Fair enough. We shall see what happens mate. |

By:
you were too quick for me with that post mate
 ,that makes more sense. |

Money coming in for him now.
Has a huge chance in my opinion |

By:
has not got the class to win a gold cup.
fair play if you think he can place but would be amazed if he can win. Hopefully be a better quality race than last year. |

Unlucky ML, got a good run for your money though.
He thrashed Captain Chris though  |
|
By:
It jumped poorly. Was coming at the second lat and made yet another mistake.
Wouldn't have won but lost all momentum and its chance was gone. Maybe next year? |

By:
Just not good enough ml, he was 2nd in a poor gold cup and where Long run didn't perform to his best.
