The 2026 Cheltenham Gold Cup

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

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.
 
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.

Was a bloody awful Gold Cup last year with hindsight - only 9 runners as well

Could be a classic this year. Best race of the week for me.

The Ryanair on the other hand I have as 5 runners absolute max this year. Absolutely desperate race.

But if they have away with it it’ll only be replaced with another handicap anyway which no-one wants.
