Jacob should stay off social media if he is easily upset

I'll tweet him our url. Someone add him to the Arse Cup or better yet, start a Tom Queally-esque thread of generally unfair criticisms.

Fascinating and informative guide to Kempton chase track on RUK just now.
You have to stay 3 miles to win as track more galloping now since it was moved to accommodate all weather track.
Horses must keep to inside rail also especially past the stands as ground falls away from you after the bend.
I do hope RUK do a similar guide to other major tracks as it explains why horses are suddenly beaten in King George after a mistake or two.

Looks like the weather will be unsettled anyway.

Cue Card is a collosus who is generally under-estimated by a half-stone due to who trains and who rides.
He is miles clear of the opposition on form, and should be a 6/4 shot in this company. He will bounce-off in front, jump/gallop them into submission, and win hard-held.

In case anyone considering backing Cue Card is not aware of this

IF he's in the same form & jumps as well as he did at Haydock, they won't see which ways he goes
For me, whatever Al Ferof does I think he's better suited to Cheltenham and is a better betting proposition in the gold cup.

Lashing it down in West London today and certain to be Soft or worse I reckon. Cue Card drifting (assume on the back of the weather) but just looks an opportunity to top up...
