Captain Chris Backed to Upset Gold Cup Big Two
04/01/12
Captain Chris is 14-1 (from 20-1) with Coral for the Gold Cup, after the King George third was well-backed to reverse Kempton placings with Kauto Star and Long Run.

Another Boxing Day third, Bobs Worth, is the 6-1 second favourite (from 8-1) for the RSA Chase, a race his Feltham Chase conqueror, Grand Crus, remains the 9-4 market leader for, although he is also 9-1 third favourite for the Gold Cup.
"Grand Crus has the option of stepping up in class in the Gold Cup, so it's hardly surprising that the horses he beat at Kempton are proving popular for the RSA Chase," said Coral's David Stevens.
