    Did anyone think Havlin gave Sweet William an ‘iffy tender ride’ settling for 2nd to a stablemate? Hands and heels most of the straight.

    No.
    All horses are different
    Sweet william is a bit of a thinker, needs finessing into the race… Also not as much of a thorough stayer as Trawlerman, so SW needs hanging onto for longer.

    As Ruby Walsh said, it was a good ride in defeat. Havlin got close enough early enough if good enough. In the last strides Trawlerman was actually pulling away again.
