Unless something is horribly wrong, this horse is about 1 1/2 stone well-in.
He hasn’t come close to a victory in his 7 races after the Trimuph last year. Seems to me like he didn’t make any progress.
You are simple-minded.
That’s going to hurt…
Lesson for Cheltenham – it pays to be on a horse ridden by an experienced jockey.
Didn’t see anything wrong with what the jockey did. He is the leading claimer in Ireland this year too. Horse isn’t good enough and has shown all season that he isn’t good enough

I just thought he might have raced too close to a very hot pace. The first two came from way off the pace. I’ll check.
