HDLG. The old National distance would be no issue for him but the fences certainly would.
He literally beat Galopin Des Champs at Christmas. The National is more like a handicap version of the Gold Cup nowadays such is the class of horse it takes to win it.
I’m angry at myself for searching for value when I knew he was the one horse in the race which would guarantee you a good run for your money. I backed him for my niece earlier and she was absolutely delighted.
