Im
not sure, i backed him today and was thinking he looked in trouble until the other horse fancied a face full of barrier! It was the same lasy year with this horse he looked a goodun early on but started to find others stronger as the season went on, 2 wins now may put him on not the best handicap mark either? Hes just not for me for anything going forward

I think he would have won anyway, seemed to get stronger at the end of the race, marathon trip could suit.
In both races so far this NH season you could be forgiven for thinking he is struggling but finishes both times with a flourish. Obviously the other horse today would have been a lot closer had he not crashed into the rails but I still thinking DHK would have seen him off comfortably by the end of the race either way.

Can understand why PM winds people up publicly because he's so non comital, but privately his views are generally mustard. I've asked (through a mutual friend) re pecking order of Willies in races with lots of runners multiple times and I can't remember him being wrong once (was seldom the shortest price either).
I mean, look at Carefully Selected!
What’s happened to him btw?!
