    He's a funny one isn't he! I was so excited about him earlier on in his career, remember being absolutely gutted when he wouldn't line up in The Arkle because of an injury set back, he just doesn't seem to be back at that level does he? Agree with you, not saying he would lay a hoof on Altior, but have to agree, that he is better (or was), than his latest showing(s).

    Cracking performance from Sceau Royal, can tell he was absolutely spot on for the race yesterday. To be fair, I thought he would be a lot better over the smaller obstacles than he turned out to be, but there was absolutely nothing to dislike about that performance from him yesterday, exciting showing.

    I wonder what Daryl thinks. Footpad was impressive beating nothing and he has never gotten the measure of Petit Mouchoir who is said to be doing fine after his setback.

    Sceau Royal was pulling his arms out a long way out and I thought he might not get home but he absolutely bolted up. He looks the better prospect to me

    There are an elite 5 or so jocks. then a batch of good and then the rest
    No way there are 5 in 5 top jobs but plenty up there with them in not so good jobs

    I can't fault people like Paul Townend Daryl Jacob Nico Brian Hughes Jack Kennedy who are all as cool as cucumbers and very seldom do anything wrong..
