Long Run has been cut to 5/2 from 11/4 by Betfred for the Gold Cup after news Imperial Commander will miss the National Hunt season
Nigel Twiston-Davies has described the injury as ‘minor’ that the ten-year-old suffered the injury during pre-season training and expects to have his star back in time for the following 2012-13 season.
Betfred spokesman George Primarolo told Betrescue, “With Kauto Star and Denman entering the twilight of their careers and Imperial Commander out for the season, Long Run could well have the staying chasing division at his mercy and is already a short price to defend his crown next year.”
Time For Rupert is the current 14/1 second-fav with Betfred with the trio of Weapons Amnesty, Captain Chris and Diamond Harry all next in the market at 16/1.
