    Sir Gerhard for the bumper. Probably significant that Patrick has deserted his granny’s horse.

    And that is how they would have finished at Cheltenham if Kilcruit had been given a better ride.

    He looked stunning walking out of the parade ring

    Its how they’d have finished had the race been stronger run definitely Cork

    It was made into a proper stamina test today by the tearaway

    I bet kilcruit was heavy fav in running at half way with the pace they were going

    Id certainly have had him as 1/2 a mile in

    He just kept going when sir gerhards petrol tank emptied

    He got the ride which was always in him. I think the speedy pacesetter helped too….
    Well done with O’toole.

    WD Sam and VtC with that huge ew on the Crawford horse.

    The handicap chase is a really good one, am going with ews on Royal Rendezvous despite the layoff, my odd little pal Blazer and The West Awaits who I like even though he’s knocking on now, but you could make a case for most of them.

    Agree FF – but I still think Townend was negative on him at Cheltenham.

    Agree Blazer and Royal rendezvous both each way next.
    Willie Mullin’s comments which are often tongue in check are interesting.

    Wd winners with CDO, had a massive lay against him,cost me a few £ lol, kilcruit about correcting that though

    And yes FF, about 5f out he was 1.8, back to evs when SG loomed though

    Two top horses like i said previously ones a 2 miler and ones a 3 miler, theyll both win at chelt next season

    Yeah glad I took a chance on Sir Gerhard running in the Supreme. You’d think that’s where he’d be going after this was run

    Although having said that the likely strong pace of a supreme wouldn’t be against Kilcruit either

    Cannot leave out the west awaits with a 199 day lay off and has beaten all the mentioned horses in his head to heads.
    Each way.
    Could well have been laid out for this….
