“The Cromwell horse require soft ground”
Didn’t Mullins blame Fact to files no show in the King George on the quicker ground and said he’d not run him on it again. Personally i think Fact to file has something of a patchy record in open company and he struggles to put two good runs together. Brilliant on his day but has off days too. I don’t think the Gold Cup would bring out one of his best days.
Everyone forgetting Spillane’s Tower (and possibly I am Maximus). Cant see JP throwing all three darts at Gold Cup.
Most likely scenario is fact of file Ryanair and Gaelic Warrior Gold cup. Jonbon sensibly kept back for Aintree.
FWIW i quite like Spillanes tower for this.
