Steep – Can’t say you are completely wrong in your thinking but the big difference is he has run worse in every race this season than he did in the same corresponding races last season.
This particular race especially as he was 4th last year beaten just 7L but here he was as usual never put in the race at any stage and was a mile back when barely lifting off the ground at the last (with FTF halfway up the run in).
Can you even run in the Gold Cup off the back of a tired and heavy looking fall?
