Cheltenham Gold Cup Betting Update
4/1 Presenting Percy 12/2 Native River
13/2 Clan Des Obeaux 10/1 Kemboy 16/1 Bellshill
18/1 Al Boum Photo 20/1 Thistlecrack
22/1 Road To Respect 25/1 Might BitePRESENTING PERCY is now 4/1
Having missed Saturday’s prep race
Now he may be the best and go and win
But his profile is particularly unpleasant
Having not jumped any fences in a year
He really should not be the favouriteCLAN DES OBEAUX
Very Impressive yesterday
Clearly an improving horse
Understandably backed into 5/1The obvious question to ask
Will Cheltenham come too soon
He only has a 27 day absenceHorses running in the Gold Cup
Running in the previous 32 days
Have a 0-63 record since 1997
CLAN DES OBEAUX has this profile
That has to be some sort of concern
That none of the previous 20 winners
Won the Gold Cup with a short breakNot sure how strong an angle this is
But it would worry me about him
Some of the names that failed this
Teeton Mill (7/2) and Long Run (7/4)
In Denmans Gold Cup win in 2008
Kauto Star was beaten 10/11 in 2nd
He also ran in yesterdays Ascot race
Failed to win with a short absence
CLAN DES OBEAUX has this doubtCheltenham will be entirely different
There is a breeding issue with himHorses sired by Kapgarde
Running in Listed and Graded races
Racing over 3m 1f and more
Have a 0-15 record so far
CLAN DES OBEAUX fails thisThere are still doubts about him
No matter how impressive he was
