Bet365 Gold Cup 2009

Last Ran: 25th April 2009

Hoo La Baloo currently trades as favourite for the 2009 Bet365 Gold Cup,he came third here last year where he proved he could make the trip. This eight year old has had his best results at Sandown having won here three times out of eleven starts and placed in three. Nicholls also has New Little Bric .

From the Grand National we have Darkness who has been left with top weight and had yet to win over this distance and Kilbeggan Blade who is a course and distance winner.

Lacdoudal won here in 2006 and bids to regain his title for Philip Hobbs ,the Irish have Church Island, last seen runner up in the Irish National and Charlie Swans Oodachee who's odds have seen a significant move this week, this ten year old came runner up last time out in the Topham Chase at Aintree, the ground will suit, he has come close to winning over three miles before and has got to be a strong contender.
