Ante-Post Update

It's been a fascinating few days racing and an update is due on my ante-post list. Sprinter Sacre was breathtaking in beating Peddlers Cross the other day and I managed to top up at 3/1 before he went into 5/2 for the Arkle. 

Captain Chris ran a good race in the King George despite being out the back in a relatively slowly run race and on a course that won't suit him as well as Cheltenham does. I've taken a slice of the 33/1 Ladbrokes went about him for the Gold Cup after the race. He isn't guaranteed to be aimed the race but with Wishfull Thinking (same connections) patently needing further than the two miles he's running over his last couple of starts, I think it makes sense to aim that horse at the Ryanair and take in the Gold Cup with Chris. I wouldn't fancy him too strongly against Long Run but he'll be backed in the place market nearer the race.

In Ireland today Hidden Cyclone was impressive in his first start over fences which bodes well for the price I have on him for the RSA.
