The 2026 Cheltenham Gold Cup

[Basil Pinenuts]

Wondered what the market was going to do after that, it's going to be a fun race

5/1 Betfred
7/2 General

Gaelic Warrior looks a right price at 7/1 if you believe that Paul Townend would do the right thing.

Not a scooby he gets off Galopin.

Patrick will have this ride. Gaelic goes Ryanair if they send F2F to Gold Cup anyway

I don't worry about the Gold Cup until the night before.

Jango misses Newbury and goes straight to Cheltenham

Wouldn't blame them

 

[vikingflagship]

Well he is a horse that runs well when fresh so if ground against him for The Denman, Chase don't blame them.

Market moves this week suggesting the decision has been made that F2F goes Ryanair and Gaelic Warrior here

There's been a bit of money for Inothewayurthinkin over the last few days. Now into 12/1 on betfair from much bigger prices

Is Cromwell generally in better form now? Quite like a couple of his runners in the handicaps

 

[Robicheaux]

I wouldn't back it with monopoly money.

Some horses function way better at certain times of the year. Inothewayurthinkin has 3 chase runs in March/April - Won Kim Muir: won The Mildmay: Won the Gold Cup.

He was supplemented late last year after 'blooming' at home and was well backed. Looks like he is coming to hand again and will go there with zero tough races on the clock.

Yep fully agree. I think if fact to file heads to the ryanair, it's a vote of confidence in Inothewayurthinkin by JP et al.

 

[Euronymous]

He can run to the same level of last year and not get placed. Much stronger renewal.

 

[Steeplechasing]

Speculative given his trainig issues over the years, but Affordale Fury seems the forgotten horse and an attractive bet at 33s nrnb. He was very well backed when winning The Savills, suggesting connections knew that despite no proof he was up to that class, they have a very good horse.

Next time at Leopardstown he set out again to make all, jumping well, until dropping away quickly four out. Came back lame, and if you accept that as an excuse, it's easy to justify taking 33s, especially when it is assumed that, unless back in that sparkling home form pre Savills, he won’t run.
