Was never really in doubt, was much the best
Bit of luck with a plus tard coming out but we will certainly take it
I don’t think he’d have got within ten lengths of the A Plus Tard that was at Cheltenham back in March.
But he’d have obviously hammered the one at Haydock Park and maybe beaten the horse he might now be.
Conflated is decent, but though he won comfortably I don’t think that’s quite Cheltenham Gold Cup form.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Won the race well enough but he’s beaten sub standard/past their prime opposition so it’s nothing to get too excited about.
I’m also beginning to wonder where we’re going to see APT again. Straight to Cheltenham? He won’t run in that tin pot race on NYD at tramore so you wonder where he’s gonna get his Cheltenham prep now. Sky bet chase at Donny maybe?
1. It’s sacrilege it’s not called the Great Yorkshire any more.
2. Is there a ratings ceiling on entry nowadays? Time was when it was Yorkshire’s Hennessy, but it’s years since anything Cheltenham Gold Cup material ran in it – Bregawn in 1982?

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Ian I think it has its own rating ceiling on it. A 1st place prize pot of something like 16k usually means any horse rated above 140 gives it a swerve
APT would probably say “I’m not getting out of me stable for less than 100k so stick your Yorkshire chase up your jacksie pal”
It’s certainly not the race it once was, TC.
It used to be 3m2f and I saw Autumn Rain beat Lucius (won the Grand National that season) in 1978 and as stated Bregawn won it in 1982.

Only three horses have ever completed the double, and the last of those was in 2000.
Doubt they’ll aim for that race. It’ll be DRF or straight to the Gold Cup.
Thank God for BMG , all these horses than must do this or that ….

Pulled on soft at Chelt, never seemed to have shown much form in the Spring…I wouldn’t say he’s a prime example of being straightforward?

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!Sorry Jack , are you saying any horse who pulls up isn’t straight forward then ? , by the way he hasn’t pulled up , as for the spring hes only 7 and has only ran 3 times in the spring , 2 of these inc a 2nd and 3rd , this year he,s won the Charlie Hall and also the KG , maybe just maybe at 7 he,s still improving ….
