CHELTEHAM GOLD CUP.

No one knows.

Market Suspensions:
12pm, 8th January - Initial Entry Stage
12pm 12th February - Forfeit Stage
12pm, 7th March - Confirmation Of Entry Stage

Why are the Ryanair and the Champion Chase still suspended? 24 hours usually does 'em.

Thanks BJG.

Grands Crus going for a walk in Gold Cup market,
any rumours in circulation?

Assume cuz he ran like a rotten drain last week and Pipe said he didnt come out of it well

Hunt Ball not running?

Nope, been scratched

Was tongue in cheek re suspension of market re Hunt Ball.

Only a guess, but it would not surprise me if SCU was told not to knock Grands about,
if seemingly beaten, a lot can happen between 26th January and Gold Cup Day,
especially with a NOTABLE going change.

He wont stay the Gold Cup trip on any ground (Grands Crus) non-stayer. End of.

As you are entitled to your opinion, MILLER and
I am entitled to disagree, a going change will see a MASSIVE change
in form and maybe the breathing operation has not worked, but I
cannot understand the huge difference in form before this season and
the form being shown now!!!!!

Gd luck with that bazzar.
If you expect a MASSIVE diff with Grands Crus on better ground in the Gold Cup, then get stuck into the MASSIVE prices on here.
He`s not for me at that trip on any ground.

Market still suspended. When do they re-open ?

Some time today after the revised entries are released I imagine

Scratchings........

First Lieutenant drifting despite still being entered. Maybe going for Ryanair?

Gd horse First Lieutenant & he goes well at Chelts.
Back him ew at gd prices in last yrs RSA, in which he ran a cracker to fin 2nd to Bobs Worth.
But for me he wont stay the Gold Cup trip & the Ryanair would be the right call, as i think you need to be able to get 3miles on a norm track to win that race, its norm a stiff run 2m 5f.
