    American Mike a much better jumper of fences than he was hurdles

    Fact to file a little fresh on reappearance but lost little in defeat
    Tough to catch the front runner today at Navan and Cheltenham.

    Both the front 2 jumped well in the main.

    Fact to File can go to another beginners now and get some more experience. See if American Mike can keep that form unlike last year.

      Paddy 40s American Mike after that

        Yeah agreed on the Turners, BANC or nothing now imo

          Aye. I was quite pleased with that tbh. FTF was a little keen but jumped superbly. Step up in trip comments incoming

          • Had AM down as an outsider for NHC but that win has probably scuppered that plan. Jumped very well indeed.

            • Switch the jockeys and you'd have a different result is my take from that.

                Has to be backed at that price regardless of what you think of him

                Should be 16s-20s max

                • I do think a factor to consider is how far forward Gordons are to willies in the season

                    He's by Mahler so his future lies over further for sure.

                      He'll end up in the BANC won't be?

                      As a backer of neither I'm pretty happy with that result, as Fact to File would've been considered a danger to a few of my bets. The two pulled well clear though, so there's the danger they're just both very good.

                      Happy to still ignore both for now though.

                        Mark did seem to be slowing fact to file down to just try pop while Jack was much more confident and got the revs up

                        • Fact to file was pretty keen so I don't think another jump in trip is the obvious answer. You can count his total runs on one hand and it was his first run over obstacles, could improve a lot from that. I think another run over the mid trip would be the smart thing to do and then judge from there

                            Yepp I definitely don't see him wanting to go another half mile, he was pretty keen today for all it could have just been because it was seasonal debut. Be watching with keen interest to see how he travels next time out, but atm going further I don't think he'd be getting home.

                            • I genuinely think we get the rematch in March over 3 miles. Neither looked hugely pacey but had good engines. Mike is by Mahler and Gordon / Bective have Found A Fifty for the mid trip. Fact To File was struggling with the pace in my view and had to be asked to close the gap a couple of times.

                              First time over obstacles tough and a 3 length second to what looked like a hugely taking performance from the winner. I’d be happy enough with that.

                                It was the BANC he was 40s for

                                That's gone now unsurprisingly
