    Well that didn't tell us anything really, what with Dancing City hitting the deck and bringing down QDB. He also hampered Handstands.

    Caldwell Potter done it well but ultimately only beat a horse he beat at Cheltenham anyway.

      I thought Dancing City was travelling like a dream until the fall

        Not convinced he's a 3m2 horse, but jeez he can jump. Magic at the last.

          2 out of 2 at the big festivals now.
          I'd say by the reaction of connections he's paying back what he cost in memories to cherish.
          Well done Nicholls, owners, jockey and caldwell potter.

            Yeah I'm pretty sure he'd have won if staying up

            Back to normal today after yesterday

            Caldwell jumped great again

            looked like he was on fumes the last 100 yards that jump at the last won it for him

              Jordans ran in the Plate CoD
              All I learnt today was don't give Cobden an easy lead on chasers.

                Ahh he did indeed, he was entered for the other one though, wasn't he

                I thought we all knew about giving Cobden an easy lead. Been doing it at least a couple of seasons now if not longer. Johnny Dineen mentions it at least 3 times an episode of Upping The Ante too

                  ….given your analysis of the race, I did a few WTAF bets to small stakes including 50-1 CP and Ryanair. Nice to have him in the book, even if my selection, Dancing City took that crashing fall when going well.

                    We’ll never know but I think the likely winner didn’t finish the race as the second nearly got to potter and he came from much further back after a big error 3/4 way round or so.

                      Handicapper might not do much to the winner so he’d be interesting for the big handicaps at Cheltenham in the autumn - then on to the Ryanair after that I’d imagine

                        Dont think I've ever watched an episode mate, but yeah Cobden has been showing himself to be adept from the front for a few seasons now, suppose its a case of if the horse is good enough when he does it.

                          I think it'll be Ryanair.
                          But do you not think he idled.
                          Clearly he was tired at the end but i reckon if anything the better ones that got in trouble wouldve helped him through the race?

                                I'm pretty sure that's Jonjo O Neill Jr's first winner at this festival.
