“he’s the lay of lays”.
I am inclined to agree. 6/4 is an over reaction to one admittedly very good performance but on deep ground on a galloping track.
I am not convinced the undulating track at Cheltenham suits him. He was a very short price in last year’s Arkle and didn’t win.
Any bookmaker worth his salt will lay him for his maximum, with plenty of capable horses running for him.
In all honesty, despite O’Connell being disrespectful to Jonbon, I would sooner have 7/2 for Marine Nationale rather than 6/4 for Majborough.
