    Looking at everybody's selections for today and there seems to be a lot more variety than the past 3 days. Shame we can't all win!

    Gold Cup: .......a wee wager on Houblon des Obeaux in case it rains lots ........

    I'm with you Lincs. No give in the ground no interest but the forecast rain should be a big help to Houblon Des Obeaux, who did it for me as runner up with top-weight in the Hennessy (3.25L behind Many Clouds giving him 6lbs) on soft. 66/1 from Ladbrokes (4 places) is unbelievable each way value IMHO. Have to have some of that.
    Also, for the same reasons, an e/w interest in Sam Winner.
    Gold Cup often throws up a long price placed horse....and very occasionally a Nortons Coin.
    as usual Peanuts, a terrific analysis .. I'm hoping for a many Clouds win, but a Houblon win would be good .. a nice price, a smaller stable and a terrific up and coming - he might even have arrived - rider in Aidan Coleman .. Sam Winner ? ... ridden by a Sam ! .. as 'they' say .. yer couldn't make it up .. good luck on the last day
    You too Chief. You could make a decent case for half the GC field, which is what draws me to a couple of gritty stayers to make the frame.
    Well ahead thanks to Greatrex's star yesterday and will enjoy it today whatever. Whatever the quality, certain to be a cracking GC.

    AFKA's model is so sensitive, a drunker pee against the rails can affect which horse he picks.

    4.40 Jolly's cracked it 20/1
    5.15 Blood Cotil 8/1
    2nd bet is e/w

    How do you do e/w Acca or super hienz? Every time I do an e/w Acca with bet 365, it either thinks they are singles or e/w and to win.
    on Bet365, at the bottom of your selections, it has 'Super Heinz' then theres a small box to tick to 'ew'.
    At the bottom it says e/w so hopefully I've done it now. Had to spend £24 on the bet coz of bet365 minimum 10p a line.

    You can do it for £12 bit late now, but on your stakes if you put 0.05 it should work.

  • I have backed Djakadam in the Gold Cup, but I will be equally happy if Many Clouds wins for Oliver Sherwood.
    Should be a great race.

  • Peace and Co, No More Heroes & Roi des Francs for me tomorrow . Also maybe a little tickle on Ned Buntline for the obvious reasons..

    Shade worried on NMH as Black Hercules may enjoy it today. Confident in Roi des Francs, only worry is problems within a big pack, clean race he shouldn't have many problems.
