Stumptown’s stand-out piece of form last season (機の)カム when he was second in the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup at the Cheltenham Festival in March. After such a 抱擁する 成果/努力 the young horse can be forgiven a below-par 成果/努力 in the Irish Grand 国家の.

His two runs this season look like they will have made him かみそり sharp for today’s 実験(する).

The final 成分 is the form of his trainer Gavin Cromwell. He’s had eight 勝利者s in the last fortnight and his British forays have 得るd rewards with five 勝利者s from 21 走者s.

Cromwell said yesterday: ‘He’s in 広大な/多数の/重要な nick and has a lovely racing 負わせる, so hopefully he will have a good chance.

‘The last time he ran in the Kerry 国家の he made a mistake four out, and wasn’t beaten far, so it wasn’t that bad a run. When he was pulled up in the Irish Grand 国家の it was やめる soon after Cheltenham and it was run on very soft ground, which probably wasn’t ideal.’

The Irish also have strong (人命などを)奪う,主張するs with Mahler 使節団, who looked like he could stil l 勝利,勝つ the 国家の 追跡(する) Chase at the Festival last season when he fell two out.

Stumptown’s jumping has sometimes hindered him but there is plenty to suggest that the gelding, who is a 9-1 shot with Betfair, has some improvement in him

His prep-run when second to 雷鳴 激しく揺する at Carlisle was 適する but the worry is the form of his trainer John McConnell, who has gone 51 days and 42 走者s since his last jumps 勝利者.

支持する/優勝者 trainer Paul Nicholls runs 完全にする Unknown, 走者-up to Cheltenham Gold Cup hope Gerri Colombe at Aintree in April.

He fits the profile of a 珊瑚 Gold Cup 勝利者 as he’s an 改善するing second-season chaser who also has a handy 負わせる (10st 11lb).

Jonjo O’Neill’s Monbeg Genius also looks like he’s the ideal type for the race.
