    I would agree with that but I'm not convinced he'd cope with the hill at that trip even on good ground.

    Back at 3m nothing would live with him, including Native River.

    Without doubt he'll have two targets next year. The King George and the Gold Cup, ant they'll believe they can reverse on better ground. Proven stayers were off the bridle a mile or more out.

    Exact same route as this year.

    KG and GC
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    I agree and looking at the times of friday it appears the ground was the slowest of the 4 days.

    I'm sure they will but I said if they get better ground and no NR I said. If he has the same class of opposition as this year that were behind him, then yes definitely they will, but because of his sheer class. Anything as good as NR will beat him again I think. I love Altior and was willing him home, but if NR holds his form and turns up again, I don't think the places would be reversed.
