    Still has to qualify yet

    He’s entered Punchestown and form of race working out well. I’d be concerned about lack of race experience for 8yr old but he’s in the right hands

    Un de Sceaux is definitely the most under rated horse in training. Don't understand it myself :confused:

    Agree with you. If he was in pink or green and yellow silks he wouldn't be

    Hmmmm, he did seem to be back in business on Saturday but a GC at this stage seems a step too far. I see in the same article that Harty says they learned nothing from the race. Christ, I'd a thought that they learned he hasn't got the pace for that distance at top level.

    Twitter annd most media rampant with his gallant second blah blah blah but **** all about what really should have been a wonderful story about the winner.

    Great booking, better rider than Power and one of the best riders of chasers in the business to my eye, might help Our duke brush up his jumping.

    That's absolutely ridiculous, he ran the best race yesterday within the last year and retirement should have been announced straight away. But since it wasn't I'd fear he will be in the GC as pushed by Tizzard not the owner as stated as it would be a perfect pacemaker for Native River. That's how he's looking at it

    I hope cue card wins the gc for 2 reasons.
    1. To annoy Slattsy
    2. To see Alice Plunketts Climax face.......

    Our Duke doesn’t jump well enough to win a Gold Cup and Presenting Percy is massively overrated imo.

    That's been my philosophy for past 12 years. Can't imagine what it's like to be working that week.
    This time three weeks I'll be sitting down to the ITV coverage, pulling my hair out trying to figure out what will beat Getabird in the Supreme.

    Racegoers tent on the outskirts of the course. Good Guinness while picking out the placepot.

    Can't wait!

    There all 4 days. Cannot wait. I tried to work one year and that failed miserably. If I don’t go I just take the week off and stay at home and watch it

    Is Nothing running? Who trains him? Do you think hell place or is he just one of half a dozen that will beat Getabird?
