The Road To The 2021 Cheltenham Gold Cup

I had to leave the house mid-morning before getting my bet on Whatmore so was urging Yorkhill all the way home.

I love when these old dogs get revitalised by small-time trainers.
 
Cracking little race at Aintree on Saturday

Santini, Native River and Frodon declared for the Many Clouds chase

Native River for me at 5/2 is a good bet, always seems to be at his best 1st time out and is 2/2 at Aintree
 
Christ. Santini. Be off the bridle after fence 2. Probably be able to see if as well if ITV aren’t salavating over Bryony Frost.

I’ll be back Keepers Hill on the basis I like none of the horses.

Might play a drinking game. Have a shot every time Hollie Doyle and Frost are mentioned. You’ll be **** faced after race 2.

Without knowing their respective fitness levels, it's probably a race best watched. All of them fit and ready and they don't see which way Santini goes.

I'm tempted by Frodon, though. He should be hard fit and that might just tell.

Off the bridle in the parade ring you mean. Still may not stop him winning!

Native off it in his box.

Frodon- Well!

Surely Nstive will be after an extra few pounds off for Nash? Even if he was hard fit, way Tizzards stable is atm its best left alone.

Don’t rate Santini. Don’t know why, just never took to it.

Frodon jd probably like if someone else rode it.
 
No chance for Frodon with so many fences taken out. Shouldn’t have been surprised really having seen several hurdles dolled off in the previous race

As a Native River backer I wasn’t happy with the missing fences, he was taking lengths out of them. Still a decent reappearance, especially with the Tizzard horses maybe not quite at their best.

It's nearly 12 months now that Tizzards have been misfiring, couldn't back any of his with any confidence.
 
Take LVL out of the race and you'd say it was a very satisfactory return relative to Native River for Santini given he was struggling with a mile to go but the form might just be worth treating with caution. I'll look more closely a the numbers during the week.
 
Race is for tossing in the bin I reckon, DO. I don’t think you’ll learn anything from analysing it.
 
Santini was hit more times than a school dunce and couldn't pass a horse running on empty......

He could run into a place again but he's one of those who lacks the class it takes

Monalee ran a big race just behind the winner last time 50/1 seems very generous
 
Grassy is spot on. Santini looked half fit and was lazy as hell. The lack of fences also turned large parts of it into a flat race. Lake View Lad winning also tells you that it’s best to wipe it from your memory because it’ll have no bearing on anything.
