Totally agree. Melon has run a stone way above of anything we've seen before. Interestingly well backed last week but layed to bits for the Irish equivalent, which surely would have given him a...
Melon has run the race of his life by a country mile.
I know he won at Punchestown. ...but all the other jockeys had absolute shockers!
Spot on Grasshopper, much that I respect Archies posts I do believe he's looking at this through 'closhutton tinted spectacles'.
Have to say if Yorkhill runs here then that he's been campaigned on acid this season. Gold Cup, Champion Chase and Champion Hurdle all in the 3 months!!!
Elgin isn't entered in the Champion.

We say that every year!
Not the ending we wanted for Faugheen, really wanted the match up in March. That said at least he got out in one piece and hopefully a happy retirement beckons.
Can't see how anyone can go near Melon for the CH after today! His Supreme is a poor one.
Glad for MTOY, deserved that, well in front of TNO on head to heads, all defeats to TNO have been tactical,...

I'll not be rushing to take 9/4 about a horse we know is fragile, no matter how good he is.
Hobbs has gone all Mullins on us! Sure they ran Detroit City off top weight in the same race, if I recall he bolted up.
Not for me, he's obviously good but I just can't get it out of my head that we tend to overrate Triumph winners year after year.
