The softer the better and it will really place the emphasis on stamina. Won LTO at Cheltenham on heavy ground, is 21 at Cheltenham over 3m+, he's more experienced this year (you have to go back to 1971 to find a 6yo winner of the KM) and Keith Donnaghue has hit form in recent days.
I think he has a massive chance and am a little surprised he's not being better found in the market. Hopefully there are a few tearaways that go a real fast clip early to place the emphasis on stamina as I dont think anything will stay on stronger than him.

The Goffer doesn't seem out the trip properly. Stumptown didn't travel at all.

When he gets in a jumping rhythm he goes close, when he doesn't he's out the back of the tele

Twig ran a cracker! Cheltenham form is ace but had written him off due to the ground.
Lark In The Morning
Twig
Ground is just the excuse used when a horse gets beaten innit ..... Hendo and Nico both said the groundw as against Jeriko and IbericoPull the other one lads
If they let Banbridge run on "soft" and he drifts, smash him up, the 5/1 NRNB is already perfectly fair tbh

But I understand the point you make.
Agree that Jeriko and IL should have been ok on the ground. There’s something clearly amiss with some of his horses.Last edited by Carnage at Taunton; 13 March 2024, 04:24 AM.
