 I like Minella Indo and Champ personally, but I could accept a case for 0 of the top 0 in the betting winning. I don't see how Lostintraslation turns the form around in a better run race, which it surely will be next March. I'd be all over that one for the Marsh if there was an unlikely switch in target. My haymaker for the race would be Saint Calvados at 00/0. I know he was second in the Ryanair last season only beaten a neck, but that's shaping up like a better race next season, and I don't see Min repeating or Saint Calvados improving over the same trip. Samcro and Allaho will prove tougher opposition. And either Defi or Fakir will go their too. Whittington and Brooks have Simply The Betts to take up the Ryanair mantle, and I felt all season that Saint Calvados would be seen to his best effect over further. I'm hoping they come to the same conclusion, that Simply the Betts is every bit as good as Frodon was in the season before that one won the Ryaniar, and Saint Calvados can improve again for a step up in trip. The other bit of value is Delta Work if he can jump better, which is well worth watching this season, as he may still offer some value. His novice chase form puts him bang in the mix alongside Santini, and he was the youngest of Santini and Topofthegame in their RSA. So at 0 he has the most potential to improve, and should now be hitting his peak. I'm also curious whether Gigi will be tempted to step Samcro up to do the job they bought him to do, or whether they'll stick with the Ryanair after his Marsh win. Because of the failed year they wasted over hurdles he'll be 0 next March in his first 'open' season, so surely this will be his only realistic chance of winning the big one. On that basis his price looks too big. Gordon already has Delta Work and Presenting Percy for the race, but O'Leary would presumably over-rule his trainer if he wanted to go that way, particularly as they allowed Elliott to mess up with his aborted Champion Hurdle campaign. It's possible that they've reassessed, and now have him down as a speedier type though that wants the intermediate trip rather than a proper stamina test. But the Gold Cup is probably 'one shot' this season for him so despite him being generally 00's for the Ryanair and 00's for the Gold Cup I'd say it's far from a done deal.
