He's coming round to it already. Mentioned jlt and Robbie said again already. Likely he'll go here now I'd have thought.
I saw Robbie had said something about him getting 3miles in time, but he thought the shorter trip would be better this year. Words to that effect anyway, unless that was my pockets hoping
I had him a/r @ 16/1, but added 3pts win only @ 25s with Vik before they cut, and just laid it back at 11 for a freeroll.
Joined the party last night, and had 3pts e/w @ 12/1 Master Dino NRNB.
Pretty good from Lostintranslation!
Wouldn't rule out Defi Du Seuil for the JLT either but LIT was good.
Black Op can't jump. On The Blind Side I have no idea?
Was there to see it and I wasn't a fan of LIT before that but he did it very nicely indeed. It franks LBAR as well.
Black Op was losing a length almost every fence and wont be carrying any of my dough, as for OTBS he looked like he was there for a day out unfortunately.
Just re-watched the Dipper and was quite impressed with Defi Du Seuil myself. Jumped probably the best he has jumped a fence in a race at pace, he looked the likely winner, and probably traded pretty short on the run in, and unlike some, I do think the 3lb he had to give was significant. He is only a small horse, compared with one like Lostintranslation, so to carry any additional weight would have an impact IMHO.

Do you not think that Geraghty went for him a little too soon too? He was still travelling the stronger and I felt he could have left him alone a bit longer, still led at the last and then quickened from there.

Could well have to. A solid performance overall, either way though.
I'm sure he'll find a quicker pace / bigger field more advantageous too, as he likes to travel, as he did during his juvenile hurdle days.

He jumped to the front when LIT made that mistake but I am sure he will next time. To be fair I dont think anyone expected DDS not to see it out based on Triumph hurdlers being stayers argument often mentioned on here by Istabraq. Having already cashed out a few DDS Arkle tickets and Le Richebourg JLT ones I hope they dont switch them.
