GOLD CUP

Such a shame that Brown Panther misses this race, i think he so much better than the rest.

If Forgotten Rules can handle the ground he should win, but there me better value ew somewhere i think.

cant see forgotten rules winning this - ground to fast, not sure why they are running him - they made it so clear about suitability of the ground as the main factor in the run up to this race - definite lay for me despite the course watering ...

No way they would risk this horse if they had serious doubts or real concerns about todays ground, too highly thought of and this is not a novice trainer its Mr Weld a qualified vet who nos the time of day me thinks it runs its a banker.

Ascot latest: Forgotten Rules RUNS
Dermot Weld has confirmed the Gold Cup favourite IS a runner..

what about tac de boistron ?

I dont think there was a doubt about that running?

Had a few ££ on Forgotten Rules 2day (3s) if he handles this ground ok i think he will take all the beating, classy stayer. The fast ground is a major concern tho

RUK still think its 50/50 to run..

You need to be very careful evaluating form for the Gold Cup. This race is almost like the Grand National. Form over shorter distances is often misleading and the gap between class horses and 2nd division horses disappears in the last 2 furlongs. That said, I don't have a Scooby what will win. I might have a few quid on Bathyrhon to lay off in running. Good luck guys.

PS - anyone know what Gok fancies ? He seriously knows what he's talking about.

Surprised they are running Tac De Boistron on that ground shirley the water they put on will have done very little given the weather

Ran well, dont think the ground beat it..

Never dropped the bit.
