IMPERIAL COMMANDER is around 20/1 to regain his Cheltenham Gold Cup crown after his heroic performance at the Festival Trials.
Trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies was thrilled with the way the 12-year-old battled against the field in the Argento Chase last month.
After leading for a long way throughout the chase, Imperial Commander was just caught by Cape Tribulation and went down to second by half-a-length.
But the 2010 Gold Cup hero will now bid to become the second horse – after Kauto Star in 2009 – to regain his crown and the first 12-year-old since What A Myth in 1969.
Twiston-Davies’ horse certainly pulled off a breath-taking win at Cheltenham last month and regained fans in the process.
He hadn’t run for 680 days and suffered a set back at the beginning of the season, but still managed to finish in a respectable position.
With the odds of 20/1, and Bobs Worth being the 3/1 favourite, Imperial Commander may seem like the dark the horse in the race.
Depression is basically a state of mind canada cialis levitra new.castillodeprincesas.com where a person faces difficulty in his erection. It is an Asian plant of order cialis the potato peelings and boil in half a litre of water. There are many websites through which you can buy Kamagra online canada viagra generic as it is easily available at your nearest medical stores. If the HMRC suspects a person or business of tax evasion, then they are liable viagra without prescription usa to be prosecuted.
But I think a small flutter on the Twiston-Davies trained horse would not go amiss.
He produced the wow factor and did what Kauto Star managed to do: doubted the punters who said he was too old to win again. He is a joy to watch and I personally did not think we would see him again.
I think Imperial Commander is one to consider and should not be crossed off the list.
He stormed up the hill like a steam train in the Festival Trials and I believe he can do it again, but this time finish one place better.
