      Relieved there as I couldn't split Tax for Max or Tempo Chapter 2 on the Mullins second string game, and plumped with the latter who spent most of the race trying to find County Wicklow

        Must admit to being gutted about Dysart Dynamo, despite being on Mighty Potter to win. I though he might be a tool, but that's two relatively unimpressive runs for varying reasons. He had the excuse of a fall last time despite clearly being third best when he fell (IMO of course) but this time ... just went out like a light. Didn't really have many of them under pressure either earlier on.

        SG has the Grade 1 form to fall back on, and the manner of his defeat means a) we can probably be more certain of his Chelts destination, ruling out the Churdle, and b) his price has been fluffed up for the respective chases. Tend to agree with Lobos that the mid trip will probably suit best.

            Energumene is unreal, fingers crossed we get a healthy Shishkin next year for that rematch that we didnt get sadly at Cheltenham this year

              Man, was Envoi Allen really not that good or has he been plagued by the injury he got?

                Yes hes very very good and runs brilliantly every time he is on the track

                I'd much prefer to see paul bowl along on him though as he's a relentless galloper

                No need to today though as chacun is a weak finisher that relies on winning the race miles out but energumene is too good for that

                    Energumene probably not even as good as Punchestown last year but has too much at the end of his race for Chacun to cope with.

                    Envoi Allen needs to be stepped up in trip next year.

                        Oh jeez. Hope he is ok. Is that the same thing that Captain Guinness had?

                          • Not sure what we've learned about Bob there. Breathing issue with the tongue tie potentially or he didn't stay 3m. Something is off with him for sure.

                            • No idea what he must have shown at home to convince them to go for it, miles off what was required and it isn't like there's a Colreevy in the field!

                                Nothing to do with staying. Lights went out far too early for that to be the excuse. Something is up.
