What a ride!
Noble Yeats for me in the Stayers'.
He absolutely flew up the run in, cracking effort!
Another win for the Skelton's!
Facile Vega was the biggest lay of the week for me, you couldn't back him to win with any confidence, way overrated.
El Fabiolo pulled up following a bad error.
Another beast for Mullins! Ears pricked too after running 3m!
Easy as you like! Made that look effortless.

Jonbon out of the Champion Chase!
Such a straightforward horse is State Man, must be lovely to have a horse like that being that way and just so uncomplicated.
No bet race for me! No idea who is going to win here, could throw up a big priced winner!
That was ice cool from Paul Townend, let Found A Fifty take the lead and never panicked, knew exactly what he had under him and let the race unfold a bit. Awesome ride and cracking horse.
Should have backed there being a false start for the start of the Supreme :D
That's gutting.
Was a pleasure to see him just the once this season then!
Wonder if he will be aimed at Aintree or Punchestown, now.
The Cheltenham Hokey Cokey! I thought it sounded as though it would be unlikely that he would get to Cheltenham, and now it seems to have swung the opposite way! Good news that CH isn't showing signs...
I usually do the week at Punchestown, and love every day, it's brilliant. I'd even say it is better than Cheltenham from an all round experience point of view. Cheltenham has gotten to the stage...
100% was pretty blatant coming in to the home straight that the prize money was the aim there!
I'm surprised PT jumped the last on Gaelic Warrior, there was absolutely no momentum or speed going in to it, lucky that it wasn't worse!
What happened? I thought he got up from the fence he fell at and then I saw the screens up after the 2nd last?
Unbelievable ride, 1 which I bet was full of different emotions for him. Not falling off was impressive enough but to the go on to do what he did was amazing, unbelievable stuff!
Just caught a replay of the 1 and only race at Naas today, crying out loud that fog was bad, surprised they even had 1 race! Horrendous conditions!
That was much better from Bob Olinger, quickened up nicely and looked to have a bit more left going up the hill going away from his rivals.
Nice performance.
Interesting discussion here guys, been good to read your opinions on State Man vs Hurricane Fly. I did wonder myself yesterday about how good State Man would be regarded if a certain superstar wasn't...
That was a lovely round of jumping from Issar D'Airy! Lovely ride from Niall Houlihan, thought it was a bit of a white-knuckle ride from Charlie Deutsch on the fave, was absolutely tanking along....
Awful news about Complete Unknown, I watched the race back and I noticed he absolutely clouted the 3rd or 4th last fence and from that point, he was paddling, made me wonder if he had emptied or...
