Val Joyce will be on soon with Airs and Races.

Failing that, Talksport has daily coverage. Might have to download the app first, not sure.

The longer I look at the Gold cup the closer I get to backing Champ. Think it's between him and Al boum and can see Champ snatching it on the line.

One way to phrase it for me ( no bet so not bothered either way)

Favourite just never picked them up, maybe ground. Nothing bad about the ride i don't think.

mossym

couple for today (two small trebles made up of

13.55 gowel road,
14:30 Fakiera
15:40 it came to pass
16:15 Shattered love
16:50 Martinhal, Gabynako

and a double on Champagne gold and Champ

Joe_ Public

Wasnt it only a couple of years ago some were proposing a weight allowance for female jockeys? Could you imagine Rachael Blackmore with a 5 or 7lb allowance? Champion jock for however long she stayed riding.

Imhof Tank

Strange run from the fav there.

Never settled - didnt do that at Leop which was slowly run

Then he seemed to stay on a bit after been outpaced by the first 3.

Wouldnt give up on him yet.

I’m nicely in profit with money to withdraw from days 1-3 even with today’s generous bets placed, have had an absolute blast this year!

Since I’m playing with the bookies money, I’ve gone with a load of interesting E/W contenders today.

13:20 Adagio E/W
13:55 Strong Glance E/W, small stake on Mengli Khan E/W
14:30 Adrimel E/W and Alaphilippe E/W
15:05 Native River E/W and Royale Pagaille E/W
15:40 Hazel Hill E/W and Mr Mantilla E/W
16:15 Zambella E/W and Magic of Light E/W
16:50 Martinhal E/W

None of these may come in but it’ll be a fun day nonetheless. I think they have decent placing chances for their odds, especially with lots of extra places on offer today.

Nice start, I’m having brilliant luck this year. Just before the off I also put Haut en Couleurs on an EW as well, so two places from the first race.

Ground to me looks quite soft, certainly softer than some of other days, even though officially G/S. Interestingly, time of that race about 10 seconds slower than Supreme on Tuesday, when official going was soft.

Native River will take them along, A Plus Tard won’t make it. Blackmore will give A Plus Tard the same ride Robbie Power gave Sizing John. This is the best Gold Cup in years, after a couple of very poor renewals this is the strongest field probably since 2008 or 2009.

I can't see Native River taking them along.. Good ground, plus Frodon at least the most likely to go from the front; as it's the only way he can win.. Native River not getting any younger either.

Has Torygraph lost a lung?

Have laid Mullins for the trainers title. De Bromhead is pushing this close enough, still a live contest imo.

There was one on the Cheltenham website last year.

Peintre Celebre

Backed Moyhenna at 120 in the mares chase. There isn't a whole lot between the entire field and she's somehow far bigger than Cabaret Queen who is 25 despise being a distance behind her two runs back when Moyhenna was just denied over this trip. Trip is on the short side but mares races can throw up funny results anyway and she should outrun her odds

It would have easily been Elliott if he hadn't been foolish

Frozen Veg

Great run by Petite Mouchoir.

Peintre Celebre

Took a chance on Oscar Elite at a huge price in the next back up in trip. Looks a bad race for the grade

didnt see it, was he anyway close to winning?

Not going for originality in the next... Too complicated for me to solve.... Will plump for the jolly of relatively unknown provenance, and will hope that ~3 miles on good ground will see Fakiera prevail @ 7/2...
