    Terrific performance from Sizing John, corroborating the sub lieu formline well. Perfect decision in the end from connections as he surely would have won the CC or Ryanair too had he contested them. Softer ground would have likely brought others into the reckoning though and I wouldn’t fancy him to repeat the feat next year. At this time I would say might bite is in line for the throne, I wouldn’t fancy Yorkhill at all for this (see ryanair for that one) and I have my doubts about Douvan now transitioning his best form to Cheltenham next year. Melon may well make up to being a champion hurdle horse next year though.
