    HDLG he was taken out of the Tingle Creek because Sandown heavy is different from Kempton heavy for example Henderson said.

    So why run him ? , he had a hard race today and now goes to Cheltenham out of form , I really don’t get this Cheltenhm specialist stuff either , he,s won there once , could understand if he ran any type of race today but he just didn’t , slow and soft not the ground buthim

    I wonder if Santini’s wind is at him again. Even boats need air for their sails.

    He won there twice
    And was 2nd in Gold Cup, 2nd in RSA and 3rd in Albert Bartlett
    Seemingly getting better each year and the stiffer course helps with Stamina

    Better each year ….. Not this year he,s not !! 2 wins ain’t a course specialist , never won at the festival , bad prep …. As I’ve said all season he,s a lay and today proved that yet again

    Nothing against yanki but going to toe to toe at the front with native there was only ever going to be 1 winner

    True but if she’d held him up and let NR bowl along in front she’d have been beaten anyway. Not like he has superb finishing speed to use.

    The comments criticising Bryony Frost are pretty daft, bordering on stupid. He was in form, they threw a dart, he wasn’t good enough. Simple as that. Fair play to all concerned.

    Yala Enki didn’t run a bad race, maybe just came too soon for him after couple of hard races in January.

    He seemed quite emotional on ITV , let’s face it he,s the Tizzards Kauto/Denman , wonder if they,ll go again with him next year , def no GN for him ( I think he,d love it myself ) , don’t want to see him carrying silly weight in a welsh etc so if they do go again it,ll be sim to this year which at 12 would be a big ask even for a horse as good as him
