Punchestown gold cup I think if Bravemansgame could have ran at Aintree then he would have swerved Punchestown. (Of course this was beyond Nicholls control).
I do not think the distance will trouble any of the field and as for Paul Nicholls he has the horse ready and prepared to race and there will be decent prize money for 2nd & 3rd at Punchestown, has to go somewhere rather than nothing. (The options are limited).
Now the jumping of Galopin Des Champs does have a blot when he fell but generally his jumping is sound and indeed I would go as far to say as good if not better than the field.
As for the odds I do not see the value in Bravemansgame, when I think place money is the best you could hope for.
I think Galopin Des Champs will win and even at 4/11 there is something if you like backing at those odds.
Could Bravemansgame win, yes of course but would take a massive issue with Galopin Des Champs to occur which is unlikely to happen.
