Thistlecrack is a monster
Physically a big slab of a hoss
Djackdam cant win the gc
Statistically no hoss that has fallen in the season wins the gc
Historically speaking (last 30 years at least )
Yanworth looks a worthy fav for the Neptune
The triumph hurdle looks an Irish benefit
Its not looking good for the Mullins camp (re the above)

And the thieving feckers are charging £5.20 for a pint of black stuff 
That star re falling and Djakadam is one stat I would gladly take on.......if the price is right!!
Yes Mr Mulligan and Dawn Run unseated and was remounted so the stats not so bad considering the small sample. Wouldnt worry about a normally safe jumper but would worry about hurdlers falling lto at the festival. Not certain we have enough evidence that Djakadam is a safe jumper. Made a mistake in the Hennessy as far as I can remember.
Would not be all bothered about the jumping of Dkadam if I was thinking of backing him,but I would be concerned re his prep now.
Yeah, I was keen on Djakadam and liked his quiet prep this year after a tough year last year.
However, now since April he has ran for about 4 miles on a racecourse (2.5m and then fell after about 1.5m) and then straight to the Gold Cup after a fall which required stitches?
Couldn't go near him after that now.

it might give them a reason/excuse to run Djakadam in the Ryanair.
Said the exact same thing earlier Rease. Sure Ruby would be delighted with that as well.
Wasn't entered was he? They'd have to supplement him.
Djakadam not entered for the Ryanair. Was also my first thought. Goes gold cup
ah, I'd overlooked that they did n't enter him, makes it less likely but still would n't totally discount it - especially if the Ryanair continues to cut up.
No worries, nobody reads my posts anyway 
Fwiw, I think Djakadam's demolition job over 2.5m is the best 2.5m performance this year. I think they'll miss the Gold Cup and get him spot on for the Punchestown Gold Cup, possibly taking in the Aintree Bowl too. Just a hunch.

Hope not but a very small possibility just think rich keeps going on about how he wants to win the gold cup. So as long as he can run I think he certainly will

Yep, they're good thoughts too - although his preference for soft ground might be an issue come April/May.
Probably overthinking it, if they're happy with him Gold Cup still most likely
