Denman or Kauto Star?

We're going to have to agree to disagree. I can't stand races where one or two automatically stand out from the rest, especially high calibre races with only one or two realistic winners. I was impressed with Kauto yesterday and was starting to come round to terms with the fact he was going to be very difficult to beat at Cheltenham. With the possibility of the Gold Cup without him, it brings much more competition to the race in my opinion. That's the way I prefer it.

I don't think Cheltenham looks that good at all this year. I've been so depressed with the NH season so far I haven't bothered to watch half of it. Usually at this time of the year I'm getting excited about Cheltenham...... not this year. Maybe it's just me, but you look at the races and nothing stands out.

A weak champion hurdle, a weak looking arkle, a three or four horse gold cup, a sun alliance chase where no form is working out at all, a one horse world hurdle (by the looks of it)
