Ruby said several times before the Supreme that Sir Gerhard was all about speed but come the big day it was he who was stepped up in trip.

Paul Towned praised Dysart Dynamo and said he would gallop through a wall for you. If they were to run him in the Ballymore he would need to have been settled
which would have robbed him of his strongest asset of galloping others into submission.

Facing facts neither Sir Gerhard or Dyasart Dynamo are the next Monksfield and would have to be to be contesting next seasons Champion hurdle.

So this is their grand finale IMO before they go chasing.

Much has been said about Patrick being booked for Dysart Dynamo but that is the least of their worries.
There's not a thing wrong with the clock in Patrick's head and he's just what's needed to bring out the best in Dysart Dynamo.
This he's only riding him because he's family may be true but that takes nothing away from the wonderful record the guy has riding for his dad and others.

However what is a worry is no one knows better than Paul Townend how well or how badly he was going whenhe departed company with Dysart Dynamo
in the Supreme but on the plus side Sir Gerhard is no world beating hurdler by any stretch of the imagination.

Patrick will still set out to gallop Sir Gerhard into the ground and this time he has no crazy undulations to contend with where you get pace changes without even trying.

This course obviously suits him, Patrick is a very good horseman and if he can present him at his hurdles and get him galloping he is going to take some pegging back.

I got the distinct impression Sir Gerhard needed ever inch of the Ballymore trip and I honestly think he'll struggle, due to his lack of ability to instantly quicken, to get past Dysart Dynamo at this trip.

In case anyone fancies a flyer on a horse, How's Trix is still 14/1 365 having been 80/1 last night. Is 13/2 or shorter anywhere else. Trainer and jockey have both won race in last 3 years but it's difficult to make a case for the horse itself. I've stuck in a double with Flooring Porter for some fun. I'm a sucker for these gambles, particularly in Ireland.

I'd consider backing him if LOKI was riding but there's been only very small money for him on the machine and you can still have a fiver at 28/1.

I hope it's just one of those "I know the trainers cleaning lady" tips as I had my 20 quid on De Nordener earlier...g/l

Haha good luck with yours.

As I said, I've literally just watched a price crash (and now drift) so I've just cashed it out and will let it all play out whilst cheering yours home

"I got the distinct impression Sir Gerhard needed ever inch of the Ballymore trip and I honestly think he'll struggle"

Based on what?, he pulled like a 2 miler the entire way round and almost carted himself to the front against pauls wishes

Sky had Sir Gerhard and Energumene at 9/4 and I think that might be my only bet of the day

Magic Daze declared for a handicap on Thursday with a tongue tie. As archie suggested, looks like a stop gap before wind operations en masse. Will be interesting to see how they all run this week

[Exar Essay]

Fancy a small double on Mighty Potter and Envoi Allen. Don't honestly think they'll win, but could see both placing top 2. 14/1 and 16/1 respectively is very fair in my view. Even discounting the win part, still be getting about 8/1 for both to place.

So is Instit still a novice?

So is Instit still a novice?

Not sure as she won in France but if she is that'll be interesting. Ran well for a 4 year old and started the close at the end there.

[HoldenTheReins]

Well well well.........Sir G beat at 2m.

[Benjy23]

I'm done with Punchestown

[Bonjers]

Well well well.........Sir G beat at 2m.

Was beat the moment Jack absolutely pocketed him.

[robith]
