What an intriguing race at Leopardstown this afternoon. Our old friend Bog Warrior turns out to take on the second and fifth favourites for the Gold Cup in this five-runner race.
Bog Warrior has not run in a chase since falling at the last back in November when beaten. Since then he has won three consecutive hurdle races in a canter. He has his ground today as it has rained overnight and is currently officially soft, heavy in places. You can see him setting off and trying to make all. He could come down and hence revert to his most likely Cheltenham target - the World Hurdle - for which he is a solid 10/1 chance.
Should he win the Hennessy he will no longer be a 66/1 chance for the Gold Cup!
Small interest is warranted at the 10/1 on offer for today's race. Interestingly Paddy P are only 7/1.
15:20L 1.5pts win Bog Warrior @ 10/1 Betfred BOG
