Cheltenham Festival
There is currently 1 person viewing this thread.
I have Been studying the form for the gold cup for the last 2 hours and do not see any other outcome than these 2 beasts battling up the hill to glory.
but which one wins?? Im torned, i cannot decide.
I love bobs worth he gave me a tidy win at last years festival, he ll give his all and will battle all the way to the line. His hennesey win was impressive and the form of that race has stood its ground all season. Everything about him screams gold cup winner. So why dont i lump in??
Well that's where sir des champs comes into equation..hes not looked overly impressive in ireland this season, but comments that have from connections have said hes been wound up gradually as the season progresses so is sure to be tuned to the minute for this race. Like he was last season when he stormed up the hill to win the jewson staying on very strongly. just watching back on that race it was very visually impressive. More so than bobs worths rsa win imo.
So whosyour winner?? I would really like to here judoricks view and for you tell me how sdc is guna get past bobs worth?

On my Peak ratings I have SDC 6lb clear. He has an electric turn of foot on decent going and I expect him to quicken past whoever might be in front of him jumping the last. He's sure to stay and has not a single negative apart from winning a grade 2 novice at last years Festival. But as he p1ssed up in that I will forgive him
FYI, I had Cue Card 8lbs clear in the Ryan Air and SS 10lbs clear in last years Arkle, so SDC is not quite as clear as those two. However, Bobs Worth has a whole series of obstacles to overcome from a statistical point of view, not least his trainers lifetime record of 3 from 78 with horses returning from more than 60 days off. I said earlier if Davy Russell had not been taken ill that he would have been a major plunge. When you look at how many winners the yard have had there must be massive confidence compared to NJH who has had two odds on winners in races lacking real depth. SDC was my NAP but the jockey situation has made me worry but I do have the horse clear and likely to improve massively for the going, Cheltenham and the trip |

bha have conti 3lb clear, SDC beating of Champion Court don't look that clever, think Bobs Worth and Silvinaco Conti will fight out the finish as I've been saying for agers. If rain does arrive think Conti won't get beat. Will skip away jumping the 2nd last and stay on strongly up the hill to beat Bobs Worth by a couple.
Opinions obviously :) |

SDC form taking an hit just like i thought. The 3rd in the jewson from last year now rated in mid 130's with champion court finishing down the field yesterday. SDC should be 4th favourite in the betting, hype horse!

By:
Is it really a hype horse...it doesnt beat flemenstar being a hype horse!
The forcast rain is swaying me towards bobs wortth |

Any news yet on who rides DSC?

lol, if Jewson form is downgraded that just makes SDC more progressive this season and means I have to uprate him. But the run of For Non Stop would make me thing twice about downgrading that run, has run to RPRs of above 160 three times since now and Champion Court ran to his Jewson rating under a big weight at Ascot too, then I look again at the very fast time of the Jewson and no way would I downgrade it :)

No indeed Thieves.... I have upgraded it with confidence

mccoy on SDC,rain forecast.
What to do eh Judo. |
|
By:
He will think it's like a road compared to the bogs he's been running on
|
|
By:
Bobs Worth will win the Gold Cup imo. The one who will give him most to do is Silvianco Conti.
SDC will make to many mistakes and think he's over hyped. Could be wrong but we will find out. GL to all. |

By:
To me, Bobs Worth is the overhyped horse, yet to run outside of novice or handicap company and only 5 chases which is too lightly raced for a typical Gold Cup winner. Add in the absence, when was the last time a Gold Cup winner hadn't run since before Christmas? Looks like a major false favourite to me.

|
By:
Me too thieves
add in NJH record of 3 from 78 with horses racing after more than 60 days off course at the Festival major neg for me BW, too lightly raced, not had a prep, didn't run in key top class trials looks short in the betting |

By:
