The Gold Cup is ten weeks on Friday and still no sign of Presenting Percy -I could see him running over hurdles as part of his preparation.

When he won the Pertemps it was his 7th run of that season. Last season, the RSA was his 6th run. It's an interesting change of tactic.
The older I get the better I was.
Are there any reports of his wellbeing? Given the trainer's lack of communication could something be wrong ?
There are a few good staying hurdles in Ireland between now and the festival -I could see him running in at least one hurdle-maybe 2.

Galmoy hurdle that he won last year.
Best chance of soft ground is at Gowran methinks.
Seven weeks from Festival
Might Bite will not run again until Cheltenham Gold Cup in March, as he is having his palate cauterised today. "He’ll miss less than two weeks work" according to NH.

Worrying stories emerging for any Presenting Percy fans re. his trainer. Gone off the rails by all accounts.

The trainer or the horse, KA?

The trainer Grass. Not sure who’s actually training the horse the past while but it wouldn’t appear to be Kelly. PM me there if you like.

Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

Al Boum Photo new rating of 164 (+5) after his Tramore win.
Bizarrely, Presenting Percy +2 to 169 for cowering in his box.

Like good wine maturing in the bottle no doubt.
Let's hope he does not get corked .( for better or worse )

Field of around 16 when all is said and done?

Yorkhill, supposedly out for season, has an entry
I notice Minella Rocco has had wind surgery and has an entry at Donny on Saturday, as well as the Gold Cup.
Never had his ground last year and JP doesn’t have many options so I’ve seen worse 50/1 NRNB punts because he’d surely have to show something between now and March to warrant a place in the starting line up and has the previous to put him in with a shout if he does.
