    Big drift on FTF today - think he opened joint fav, now out to 5s. GDC 7/2 into 5/2 despite the reported interrupted prep. We saw Down Memory Lane win despite the drift but never good to see those JP horses drift.

    Out to 11/2

    Should never be put off by a drift

    Another weekend loser for me soon

      I've backed him for the race today and tempted to back him win today and festival but he's fragile, i found that out last year when he missed the banc, once bitten and all that !

                • FTF is some horse. Shame for Spillane's Tower who got close but FTF travelled well and you'd be hoping for more improvement to come.

                          I wouldn't say it's out of the question just yet.

                          Fantastic performance by him, but Galopin will prefer a stiffer test, that I'm absolutely certain of. If Galopin comes out and wallops him at Leopardstown then Ryanair will absolutely come back into play.

                          Let's not forget, Min won 3 John Durkans and Allaho one and neither of them saw a Gold Cup.

                          It's as much a starting point for a Ryanair contender as it is a Gold Cup contender for Willie.

                            No, i was being serious COD. I think it's the perfect result. Let's hope and pray they all go to the Irish Gold Cup. We will find out a lot more then. But they now know that FTF can do the middle distance and beat the best.

                            • Half way round FTF was the one I was taking from it. Settled so much better and jumped beautifully. I think he’ll have bother getting 3m at Christmas.

                              That being said 11/2 GDC is tempting.

                              • …F2F a best 11/4 GC after that win (PP/Hills specials).
