Ascot Gold Cup
Coastal Path
Yeats is getting on and there is no guarantee he is as good now as he was. With him going for a third Gold Cup there are doubts about the patricipation of stable companion Srptimus (who I rate the better horse). Coastal Path is in form and on the up. Proven at 2m (1m 7 1/2f). Is by Halling (1m2f winner) but is a half brother to 2006 Gold Cup runner up Reefscape. So should get the extra half mile. Unraced on a firm surface but Halling loved top-of-the-ground. Unbeaten in six starts, I believe the English Bookies have seriously under estimated this French colt's chance.
