Had the winner joint top on overall form but couldn’t have him on recent form. However, with my selections beaten I was only too happy to shout him home and he won it going away having been under the cosh before the turn.
Incidentally, not a surprise Coole Cody runs his best races at Cheltenham as, looking at his record, it’s the only place he runs these days!
“Exaggerated waiting tactics by Skelton; perhaps could have been closer.”
To be fair to Skelton, he has received a lot of justified criticism for kicking on much too soon at Cheltenham before. Maybe he has over-compensated?
Has anyone actually seen Spiritofthegames on the Cheltenham run-in before? The loveable rogue does not fancy it one bit if he looks like getting his head in front before the line lets put it that way, there is plenty of evidence of that and Skelton probably had that in mind.
May well be the case but it didn’t look great for backers , it been a bit of a damp squid for the Skelton’s so far , they,ll be praying for a big run in the GC tomorrow
