    Just catching up.. Wow .. Galopin des Champs…
    I wonder if they will try and make the running in the races next year. I guess the small field helped today in that respect but he obviously enjoys it from the front

    Had the result for first and second place and also by winning other a certain distance well he certainly did that.
    Could be first horse to regain his Gold cup title at Cheltenham since Kauto star, he wasn’t right this years race

    How many genuine 3m2f chasers are there around? I can think of two plus an improving Haiti Couleurs and maybe GW. But the latter still has too much to prove.

    As previously mentioned 3.05 Gabriel’s Getaway looks plotted up for this.

    The staying Listed hurdle at 4.15 looks an absolute minefield with 2/3rds of the field within 7lbs on my figures. For the record top three are:

    Monbeg Park
    Yeats Star
    C’est Ta Chance

    A masterclass ride fron Bowen there, guess the stag night he just came back from didn’t affect him in the slightest.

    What a drive to the line from Bowen.

    I almost threw a small stake on before the off but Martin training it put me off. The mans a crook.
