4-1 Granit Jack Heads Paddy Power Betting On Betfair Betfair punters clearly reckon Granit Jack is anything but a bargain basement proposition in the race and make him the clear 4-1 favourite, and the indications are that he may get shorter still.He has yet to face a fence in anger in Britain, but he won four chases in France and finally showed his long-term potential when runner-up in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham last March. Paul Nicholls has left no-one in any doubt that he believes the horse is well-handicapped over fences ? and Timeform agree that he could prove to be very favourably weighted tomorrow.Timeform spokesman Kieran Packman commented: ''This is a very open renewal on ratings, although Granit Jack is entitled to be clear favourite on his best hurdles rating.'His Timeform rating based on his French chasing form puts him in the mix, and his hurdles rating would see him 12lb higher. Of the remainder, it looks very competitive, with narrow preference being for Bob Hall, who made a pleasing reappearance at the course and is narrowly favoured over his conqueror that day, Knowhere.'TIMEFORM TOP-RATED169 Bob Hall168+ Private Be168 Il Duce168 Palarshan167+ Copsale Lad167 Too Forward167 Knowhere167 Idole First167 Three MirrorsOther:165p Granit JackTo win the Paddy Power Gold Cup ?
