    Yep, slow and hesitant at the hurdles

    • Lost ground at every hurdle. Finished legless. Nothing positive about that.

      You’d think a drop in trip may suit but he’d have no chance jumping like that over 2.

      • Tullyhill had absolutely nothing there. Breathing op incoming for him I suspect.

              • The only positive to take from that is he's a lovely looker hahahaha

                • Is it me or was Tullyhill hesitant at almost every hurdle. Couldn't have him in my thinking for anything in March.

                    Must have been to the same schooling day Enola went to

                    • Enola: Inconsistent jumper and didn’t look a natural or fully committed. I’ve mentioned her pedigree being a cause for concern before and I’d be doubtful she’ll progress to the top tier.

                      Tullyhill: Absolute muck all round. Yes he whacked one near the finish but I don’t think it made a difference. I only ever had interest in him for the AB (backed), but there would have to be a valid excuse for today if he’s going to feature in anything of that level.

                      Readin Tommy Wrong: Jumped efficiently in the main although occasionally out to the left at times. Came with his challenge strongly and looked well on top before a big jump at the last took away his momentum. Rallied well and definitely worth a look up in grade with a stronger pace.

                      • Yeah, Tullyhill got super tight to pretty much every hurdle. Some of the side-on angles made it look like he was essentially stepping over the hurdle at one or two, he got that close. There was one about halfway through the race where Townend asked for a leap from him and he wasn't having any of it. The same happened again at the 3rd last (I think) when he was asked to jump by Shannon Royale and take control of the race. Went left at each flight throughout and the bubble truly burst in the straight, for me.

                        • The impressive winner Shannon Royal was beaten by Willmount in his PTP..........top form.

                          Tullyhill definitely not a Stayer.

                            Hell come on for the run, and be 67lbs better going left handed

                            • He'll need to learn how to jump a hurdle before he steps on any race track again. Left handed, right handed, 2m or 3m. Looked clueless.

                              • Anyone think Readin Tommy Wrong could be one for the County?
