And that small head knew that Impaire Et Passe would win the Champion Hurdle."

I personally think the most classy race (potentially) is the KG as that probablty brings WC in to play?
Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long Holly. _ Harry Limes
Surely Exotic Dancer deserves a place in the first six?
You may not have noticed that he is trained by JonJo, Griff.

Kauto Star wont get round...

Maybe they should just run it at Manor Farm and save us all the bother :P

Least they won't try and charge you £65 to watch DG :P

I would put In Compliance in that list and take Snowy Morning out. I would also put MWDS second to Kauto Star.
A horse who has yet to prove he stays shouldn't be in the list.
Like Kauto Star, War Of Attrition and Kicking King a year before they won?
It looks like the nature of the Gold cup is changing, as mentioned some time ago (James Willoughby maybe?)
It's being won by speed horses emerging from among the two-milers. Maybe My Way De Solzen will emerge as a candidate in a year or two.
Illegitimi non carborundum
12 months before the won, Kicking King had just finished 2nd in an Arkle. OK so he looked like he would be better over further so he I will allow.War of Attrition had finished 7th in his Arkle and was dead on his feet by the end. Surely nobody would entertain thoughts of Gold Cup glory after that? Kauto Star had no form in this country over any trip beyond 2 miles 1. Again, Gold Cup contender after that? Enormous leaps of faith for me.
Then a few more should be taken out...because most of that list have never won over the Gold Cup trip.
Paul - my point is that recent evidence shows that not being proven over the trip is not an important factor in assessing the chance of a horse in the Gold Cup.
My guess is that 2 of the 6 would be in the top 6 next year.
I went swimming in the Caribbean. Animals were hiding behind rocks
How many of them will even run?
Fickle fickle game
Gareth, I agree with you but I have my doubts about In Compliance. I am usually hopelessly wrong so this would be no exception!
