Road to the Gold Cup 2012

He would be a bet at 5/2 for me.

I don't like to see horses run a la Time for Rupert lto.

The 4/1 for Diamond Harry lasted two hours. I'm not inclined to back a horse that had only one run last season. The curse of the Hennessy Gold Cup may have struck again.

Interesting stuff - I would sooner have taken 4's about Diamond Harry who had the one run last season as opposed to half a point bigger about Time For Rupert who bled LTO IIRC.
 
At this time of year I do my best to bet as little as possible; the form doesn't mean much at this stage of the season.

This race looks very difficult, I could make a case for at least four of them. If Diamond Harry showed up in Hennessy form he will win this but I'm surprised to see him running because I thought I'd read that Williams wasn't all that happy with his condition.

Diamond Harry may only have run the once last season, but it's not like there aren't question marks of one kind or another against practically ever horse in the race.

Far from making a case for four of them, I can barely make a case for any of them! A watching-brief race for me.

So you have waited all summer for the hedge jumping to start and now you have no opinion on anything.

May I be the first to say "Well Done".
