    Yesterday, I had someone disagreeing and feeling the need to use phrases like 'stupid' and 'nonsense' in relation to an opinion and now this total overreaction. Coincidence?
    In the interest of fairness, as it was me who used those two phrases.. your opinion was that Chacun last week ‘couldn’t have been any more unimpressive’. So I stand by my two phrases.

      Just rewatched the race and it confirmed my initial thought that his jumping was good which led me to take the 25s with B365. Happy to have an increased stake in the book as we will know more when he faces stiffer competition as the proximity of Midnight Run today raises doubt although it was a further 28l back to the third.

        Midnight Run gave another boost to Asterion Forlonges chase debut. Honestly think he might be the horse most able to give Envoi a race. Though I must admit it will probably have to be right handed with his jumping.

          Just watched it now in replay and more than happy with CG. They might pass on DRF if they get a satisfactory result in Naas in January

            He'd need a run somewhere though, wouldn't he? Not sure I like the thought of him going to Cheltenham on the back of two chase runs (ignoring his first run of season).

              They must have had a load of money put down as CG was 25’s for the 20 mins I was watching post race

                Losing 50 days between his mishap in October and now, it was always going to be a compromise between getting experience and not going to the well too often.

                    pretty ropey ride from Power then, couldn't have slowed down much more into the last two flights.

                      Not as slow as the one in front who tried pulling himself up, and they still couldn't get to him

                        Very odd ride.

                        I dont think Court Maid has done her NHC chances any harm though. Having missed the boat, I am hoping the bookies don't cut on the back of that.

                          Looked like a qualification ride if you ask me. Only gave it some after the last once when the one in front had slowed down.

                          Ignore me - already qualified. D’oh

                            Winner jumped like a stag tbf

                            he almost pulled himself up, was value for much more than the winning margin I'd say

                            I'd imagine power was riding to instructions, I'd have thought she needed to be more prominent with her guaranteed stamina

                            • Court Maid won't be troubling the Forum horse. Another cut looms....
