Haven't heard/seen anything as I have a very tiny punt and freebet on him(hoping to get back my Sir Erec(RIP) losses from a few years back!). I've actually backed Champion Green who has the same connections and been mentioned by O'Brien in his stable tours.
Yeah I was stuck between adding Champion Green or Max Mayhem who runs this weekend but ended up siding with CG as looking through his form of his last race, the 3rd that day which is also Josephs' has won his maiden hurdle beating doctor brown bear who ran 3rd today and Champion Green won well on his final flat run easily accounting for Max Mayhem.
Went to check Josephs tour and Champion Green was mentioned but nothing regarding MM, so it's an educated risky bet.
Early season interviews with Paul Nicholls and Harry Cobden suggested that they were both very sweet on Matterhorn. Nicholls described him as a nice chaser in the making so I think they will mind him this season and not run him in a race frequently described by him as a 'cavalry charge'. Magistrato is probably their Triumph horse but IMO needs to improve to challenge the likes of Fil Dor.
I liked that from Fil Dor, cruises along, knows how to battle, lovely jump at the last. Not sure he's the winner of this but most are on at or had chance to be on at fancy prices so if he makes it to the day itself you'll be in with a nice live chance. The first 2 were well clear of the rest and I feel like there was a decent bit left in the tank, i'd like to see him to the front earlier like his first run. Overall it was pleasing stuff.
Horse in second looked very useful and had a much better run in. Fil Dor had to reposition a couple of times from 3 out. I’d be marking him up slightly for that run.

On a line through Lunar power makes me slightly more confident in my iberique de sueil bets, hes obviously a good horse and maybe there isnt much seperating fil dor and iberique as the betting would suggest
I took the view that Davy Russell was at pains to teach him plenty on how to race, letting him drop in, edge out, work for the win, whilst being confident that he had the horse to be able to do that and win.
