Kauto Star will run in the Gold Cup. Schooled very well with Ruby so Nicholls says.

The exchanges indicate that SDC is going for the Jewson, it would be nice if Mullins actually told people which race the bloody horse is going for.

Better get on it fast then eh! If SDC moves out then its a straight fight between GC and Bobs Worth, which isn't really a fair fight.

Fingers Crossed

Did Gorgeous Sixty @ 20/1 Ew for Fred Winter, into 12s now Ruby and Mullins really rate it at home, its first race over here is decent form.

Could be well in on ratings if Mullins has got it right.

Stupid Davy

It was bang in there until they went wrong way, its since finished just 6 lengths behind Big Zeb.

Class horse in the race.

nearly bets on but cant decide on darlan or montbazon?
that means neither will win now lol

paul nicholls @4/1 for top trainer gets my money too.
also biggest sp winner under 25/1 @ 4/1
good luck all
