We are already on Captain Chris (16/1) and Long Run (10/1) each-way for the Gold Cup. It looks like further rain could arrive to turn the ground to soft by around 3pm - in time for the feature race. Soft ground will definitely suit Long Run who should be running on when others have cried enough. I have had a further bet this morning on the former Gold Cup winner:
15:20C 2pts ew Long Run @ 6/1 Paddy Power BOG (1/4 odds 1,2,3)
Another contender that will appreciate soft ground is Cape Tribulation:
15:20C 0.5pts ew Cape Tribulation @ 16/1 William Hill BOG (1/4 odds 1,2,3)
I think, however, if the ground turns genuinely soft then Long Run will become the plunge horse and could start as short as 4/1. The rest of the card looks horrendously difficult so good luck if you play in the other races.
Total five points staked.
Whatever happens in the Gold Cup today it will have been a very profitable festival.
