Up until Saturday my position on the Cheltenham Gold Cup was that I thought we'd have a new winner as the so called big three were all getting on a bit and were a bit short in the betting for me. Denman's performance in the Hennessy changed that and the fact that he will go to the Festival without another race is a big plus as I think he left his Gold Cup behind when falling in the Aon at Newbury last season. As for the winner, Diamond Harry is some beast when he gets into a nice rhythm but I have my doubts about that happening at Cheltenham.
I've not had a bet on the Champion Hurdle yet but I note that Binocular has drifted to a generally available 9/2 and his conqueror the other day, Peddlers Cross, is only 6s. That price differential needs to be wider and I've asked for 5.8 on Betfair.
