Tail Of The Bank

[stilvi]

Seemingly backed this morning but then drifted out on Course. Anyone at Warwick who can offer any reason for the late market weakness? As for the race itself an awkward jump at the first and was never competitive thereafter. Disappointing as he had looked progressive and a potential Cheltenham longshot, admitedly over a longer trip.

Yeah, pretty interesting drift – could’ve been awkward in the paddock?

I like this horse, you feel he could be pretty competitive one day – but when that day will be, I have no idea!

So don't run, just like the others always do

Nice horse reminds me of one of Micheal Dickinson’s called Wsixtimes

which stood for Went Well Will Win When Wanted

[Long Run]

Wants a longer trip, softer ground and a different track. The fences came to quick for him as he’s a real galloper. I would just caution you that he needs softish ground so careful re: Cheltenham. It’s a very nice horse.

I agree with Long Run. Needs 2m4f at least to be shown to best effect, at least in decent company. Whisper it quietly but Nick Mordin said the same thing, too!
