    Not that I made my view pay – I was on Fury Road.

    He’s run a cracking Stayers’ Hurdle trial there, tbf.

    In a year or two, there will be five days, and two extra races – one might be an open intermediate trip Grade 1 Hurdle: it’s got Bob’s name on it!

    He,ll need a horsebox to stay 3 miles at Cheltenham , does that knock the Galopin form ….it looks like the turners form is worthless

    I think Galopin Des Champ’s latest run is the one to judge him on – he’s murdered some novice chasers with decent ORs.

    Something physically amiss like at Cheltenham probably. That wasn’t the same horse that beat Capadonna over fences where he travelled and jumped ok.

    I do not think it was the distance that got him beaten today. He cannot jump fences with any fluency and it puts him on the back foot.

    He’s never looked remotely comfortable jumping fences to me.

    Throw in the obvious physical ailment and he’s one to oppose at the short odds he invariably starts at.

    Agree, I could not back him at all. But it has to be back over hurdles for him. He clearly does not enjoy jumping fences.

    If he was trained by anyone else, he would not have gone over fences. After last season’s win in the Ballymore, anyone else would have trained him for a Champion Hurdle.
