    We all know I think Yorkhill is massively overrated so I fully expect Min to piss over him today. Mins a monster in my opinion.

    If Yorkhill can beat min then I think the hype will have been justified.
    We will have to see but I would have Min as favourite for this and could believe they opened evens and 5/2.

    Interesting race to say the least

    There was a serious gamble on Fabulous Saga there. The bookies will be delighted with Townend’s ride on him.

    Flip-flopping favourites here, with Yorkhill friendless at 7/4 and Min generally 11/8.

    That seems alarming.

    Man the lifeboats?

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

    Much better from min and just like that, the yorkhill bubble has firmly burst.

    Yorkhill confirmed the most overhyped horse!
    Min is a monster!! Get in

    Min is now a good second fav for the Champion Chase.
    Yorkhill is either amiss or temperament getting the better of him now.
    Robbie Power is an idiot.

    Forget Special Tiara’s running, he’ll probably be the value for Cheltenham after going far too quick there. Doing well considering Robbie’s rush of blood.

    Yorkhill looks less than a shadow of the horse he was – never travelling at any point

    Mullins was too keen to drop the idea of Yorkhill being a 3 miler after one start and that being a seasonal debut in one of the toughest races of the season.
    Min was better today but the mistake Ordinary World made at the last was a shame as he looked to be putting in a challenge.

    Yorkhill was, as I suspected, completely outpaced.

    I’ll say it again; he’s 2/2 at 2 mile 5; that’s his trip

    Special Tiara ran a belter. Min looked class, but I still couldn’t have him over a peak Altior. Yorkhill is clearly not right.

    Outpaced? He didn’t travel at all from the off. Patently nothing like himself.

    I think it’s a physical problem. I don’t think we will see him run again this season.

    Agree steeplechasing, Yorkhill looked less than a shadow of the horse we know. I hope everything is ok with him.

    Yeah that was more than being outpaced, for a neptune winner 2m over fences should be in his reach

    What an animal footpad is, PM ran a blinder, but footpad had loads left

    Clearly an issue with Yorkhill. Mom looked pretty good. Altior would destroy him in the Champion Chase thlugh.

    Footpad looked good but I’m delighted with that from Petit Mouchoir. He will improve massively from that. He clouted one of them early and, after an absence, has run an absolute blinder.

    Chuffed with Supasundae there! Not quite sure what to make of the race in terms of how well/badly both the winner and Faugheen ran :unsure:
