Did he under perform or did he just not like Cheltenham …that’s the question , if he gets there fit then CPS vs Shiskin could be the race of chelt 2022
Id say a few of Willie’s underperformed at Cheltenham
Monkfish and Concertista didnt look themselves either
Hed have won on the snaff if he travelled like that at Cheltenham
It cant have just been the track surely
Indeed – and Townend was definitely not in danger of making that error again today. I wasn’t expecting him to take on his stablemate for the lead.
BUY THE SUN
Thing is he was in front after the last so I don’t understand why they think that , I just don’t think he quite got up the hill
I think they believe CPS breaks other horses 4-6f out when ridden appropriately. I tend to agree actually.

just don’t think he quite got up the hill
Punchestown has a hill and so does Leopardstown. Despite how well Mullins did at the DRF and Cheltenham, some of his did underperform and I wonder if a few had a mild dose of what the Elliott and Cromwell horses had around the start of the year (Nicky Henderson and probably Olly Murphy others to have the lurgy on the other side of the ditch).
Have we seen our first 180+ horse in a long time?
It was too much of a coincidence that 10-12 years ago we had 4/5 horses reach 180+ around the same time but haven’t had any in last 6/7 years.
Good point. Could dislike the course, or maybe just likes curling up in his own stable at night.
Doesn’t mean the hill beat him.
Leopardstown has a testing hill, and he ran 2m 1 1/2f there stayed the incline ok.
As Mike says, i think they didn’t have the rright tactics at the festival. He jumps them silly.
Would Allaho have won being held up in the Ryanair? Probably not. Some horses suit going out and putting pressure on the others jumping. He didn’t get to do that at Cheltenham.
PS, wd GAG!

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!OK roll on the next big clash. I’ve gone for Envoi Allen on grounds of daisy freshness. But wouldn’t mind if Colreevy won, she is so tough. Monkfish’s jumping when not under pressure bothered me a bit.
Will be keeping a close eye on Franco de Port as well. I know it doesn’t look like it from the trips he has been campaigned over so far, and he’ll have to improve his jumping but…could he be a future National horse?
I hope Monkfish can continue winning. Interestingly about Colreevy Mullins says “The trip will suit but the drying ground won’t. She is in foal to Walk In The Park and hopefully she will give a good account on what will be her last run.” He also says it will be a fascinating contest….
