The BetVictor Gold Cup Sat Nov 16th 2019 Cheltenham

I’ve invested a happy amount into Count Meribel at 20s, won’t be topping that up.

As much as I like the Count, I can’t get away from Spiritofthegames. I posted last week about Skeltons having a stupidly high strike rate for horses coming back off the back of a wind op, Spiritofthegames falls into this category.

Hearing good things for Happy Diva, but these are the two i picked out early on and I’m sticking with.

REMASTERED in the 3:30 for David Pipe could be a big improver this season. He is 4/1 today to get back to winning ways.

He won on his first start in England in a NHF and then won his novice hurdle.

The three runs since then, most notably his last performance weren't his true showing but they've kept his rating down for a day like today. I feel he'll love the ground and it could be a case of how far...if he gets into a good rhythm.

I wouldn't want to back anything to get past him.

Happy Diva and Count Meribel for me

Belami Des Pictions for me.

Venetia Williams seems to be much more of a player in these showcase handicaps the past several years. Her horses are said to thrive in the mud. We shall see...

Good luck all.

Congrats to those on Happy Diva. Kicking myself I didn’t jump on it, stuck to my word. Great race.

Thought Count Meribel was travelling an absolute dream turned and just didn’t get home. He’s certainly got a race in hkm somewhere though
 
Well done Happy Diva backers.

I thought she was winking at me...and she was....but I took no notice. :)

Just a bit too testing for Count Meribel IMO. One to follow next time if he gets better ground.

Count Meribel entered at Ascot next week, prefers right handed but too soon after a tough slog today.
 
Belami Des Pictons looked unlucky from the stands, being hindered by Eamon An Cnoic's mishap at the second, and was always playing catch up, did well to finish fourth eventually.
