Has The Storyteller been confirmed here now after yesterday's super run ?? Think he would be a threat in the Stayers so would prefer him going for the big one.

Nortons who
Have to say whilst I don't apply trends religiously I am keen to understand how they affect performance/results and that heavy ground stat is one that's always stood out over the years.
I might just have to get A Plus Tard onside somewhere and I'm not a huge fan of the horse...Comment

You could be right Archie, as I said him & melon would have done each other no favours that day. Thought APT was given a very nice ride though. Is there much in it that pundits are saying Xmas would have been much more kemboy’s favoured ground, or has that been a bit overblown?Originally posted by archie View Post
I see he was given the same RPR figure for his win yesterday as his 2nd in the Lexus. Great to see him win his first big one since the ownership debacle anyhow mate, congrats.Comment

Cheers. As he gets older and stronger, the ground thing is probably overplayed, not least by Willie.Originally posted by ToniC View Post
At Christmas, David had some stick for going too soon but, for me, he went too late because Kemboy stays very well without having a finishing kick. I thought he could have pinched enough of a lead that APT couldn't have clawed back. That 'very nice ride' earned the jockey a holiday for excessive use of the whip.Comment

As it stands, everything is still in the mix. That includes Cheltenham (Gold Cup or Stayers), Aintree, Punchestown and Auteuil. All you can guarantee is that Willie will leave his options open for as long as possible.Comment

Lostintranslation: is there any hope he again runs a big one in the big one?
Similar form to last year.
Tizzards tend to improve in the spring.
Stats would disagree about winning after a failed first attempt but Native River did it from same stable.
Small fields likely skew this figure but hasn't been out of the first 3 in all completed chases.
Has ran 3 good races over fences on the New course so track obviously suits.
Price has drifted - 20/1 NRNB with PP - possibly a leap of faith but I think he could be a decent EW play.
