      Depends which shiskin turns up

      He was devastating at ascot

      But didn't travel or jump anywhere near as well in the Ryanair

      If ascot shiskin turns up in the King George or gold cup he will take a lot of beating

        3m 2 and an uphill finish at Cheltenham? Hope your alarm goes off as your dreaming.

          He looked like he needed 4 miles at Aintree so stamina isn't an issue

          The issue is between his ears

            You never know for sure until they actually proven over c&d, but yeah I think he will be fine with it if Hendo can get him there in his best possible form.

            Whatever side you are on, he certainly brings some intrigue to the race for me.
            I’m happy to have him onside.

              Brilliant performance from one so inexperienced.

                Great performance. Great ride from Darragh too. An inexperienced 7yo who’s beaten the Irish National winner and Gold Cup second in three starts over fences. 25/1 with cash out strikes me as bloody fair.

                  Felt like Harry wanted to win on the bridle and then got done by the jump...Good by gentlemansgame though

                    Any distance markets open yet for how far Fastorslow wins this by?

                      I would say visually it looked like BMG would win coming to the last, but I’m not convinced he would have won had he jumped the last ok, winner was not beaten at all at the time

                          I think we saw in King george that wasn't the case. more on the jockey than the horse imo

                            Maybe that end of season form is not to be relied on, as not much talk about him, but I think he’s one to have onside, especially at a lot bigger price than the fav he beat is

                                I think if he had pushed him on ahead of the last ..the last might not have mattered as much..but agree with others. He gave 6lb, less fitness and soft to heavy ground.. also pretty important.. really good performance by GMG too of course but would be surprised if he is in the 1st three at cheltenham
