Quel Esprit looks ready to rock and roll

It’s great that the Gold Cup has been rescheduled for today, having been cancelled on Wednesday, and I’m probably more confident about winning on Quel Esprit than I was three days ago.

I’m not trying to say Quel Esprit is suddenly catching pigeons at home or anything like that. No, my reasoning is simply the form of Willie Mullins’ horses.

They are absolutely running out of their skins and that’s exactly what you want when facing into a big race.
