I'm starting to think we've all being overlooking the obvious, which is that Cue Card has already won the two most important chases in England this year on merit. The best of the Irish chasers went to Kempton this season rather than stay at home and he narrowly got the better of them. I don't see why he can't do the same in the Gold Cup. He's the highest achieving and least complicated horse in the field and I agree with his trainer that he prefers Cheltenham to Kempton. I'm not overly concerned about the extra distance of the Gold Cup, if anything he found the King George trip a bit sharp and only just got up in time.
