    Best jumper in the race won it. Nico somehow back his old self on Lulamba. Let him make too many mistakes.

    Winner well deserved
    Kopecks inexperience over fences told in the end at the first couple and at the last
    Still fancy him for next year

    Romeo’s gone to the wrong race probably. I think he’d have won that with his jumping. Hes no slower at 2m than Lulamba

    She was foot perfect and a model of good behaviour. Danny Mullins gets the pace right as always

    “Best jumper in the race won it.”

    Agree. Not sure the best horse did, though. :cry:

    You’ll prob still get a deft price Hughsie , however I reckon he’ll always be a bit iffy jumping wise , he always misses 1 or 2 esp at the start

    Looks strong if he stays. Mullins has about 10 in there. Probably be no hiding place.

    Sadly it looks as though we lost Hansard between fences

    For kopek see majborough tomorrow, cant make any errors at that speed.

    I was on kopek and completely disagree with AP, he would have won if he’d gog the last right.

    This race continues to be a graveyard for the favourites.

    Lulamba just can’t jump at 2m championship pace.

    Kopek is a brilliant horse but Willie probably should’ve given him a final prep run in February.

    If Kargese can bounce back like that after being absolutely legless at the DRF then so can Lossiemouth.

    Kopek got all the talent but early on his jumping is rather alarming and whilst he warmed up as the race progressed that peck at the last lost him all momentum and the ground he lost getting away from the last was pretty much how far he was beaten by but at the end of the day jumping is the name of the game and the most professional horse won.

    This was run at an even slower pace with many 15s furlongs being clocked but they were really motoring late on as the overall time was only 0.35s slow. You have to say that Danny rode a blinder as I was fully expecting him to go off a lot faster on her but he just sat in front and then kicked off the turn.

    CAS, the horse with the fewest mistakes won the race. Surely not the best.
