    I fully expect Kim Bailey to find a reason to duck Cheltenham altogether with this horse

    I hope not. Some lovely prices for him in the RSA. See how he does this weekend.

    Don't think the horse looked remotely happy jumping out of the tacky ground. None of them particularly enjoyed it but thought he especially hated it. Delighted Defi is continuing to prove his early season critics wrong! ��

    Wouldn't have won with anyone on top.

    Obviously delighted Defi won to help make up for last time.

    Not many travel better than him on bad ground but chances are he'll lose out in the JLT on that score 12/1 was fair 6/1 poor value IMO

    Le Richerbourg is a lovely horse. I don't think he is as quick as an out and out very good 2 miler but he is good enough to win this year's Arkle
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    La Bague Au Roi is a cracking mare.

    I was quite heavily invested in Hardline. Can't work out if he didn't go on the ground or was it too sharp a trip.

    Weird one as I thought he would have ran in the 2 miler yesterday. Some giving Kennedy stick on Twitter, but I don't think that's the jocks fault :/ this one.

    I was wondering throughout the event if Vinndication was running its race. Beforehand, I thought it would win easily enough but it was never convincing me. You might well have the answer, jinnyj.

    Kim Bailey was a guest on Luck On Sunday this morning, said the horse is still learning and views him as a long term project and is looking two years hence. Owners keen on going to Cheltenham with him but he wouldn't be worried if they didn't. Possibly the next Mr Frisk.

    To my way of thinking it was a non Trier today.very funny ride.will be on it at Cheltenham and should get a good price.
    No one thinks of non Trier when they finish close in 3rd.just an opinion.

    The 2018 Galway Hurdle form proves itself yet again.

    In work so didn’t see the race, how bad did it jump/run? Gone in on Hardline for the JLT now, can’t see it being its current price on the day, and I thought it was holding something back against Le Bague au Roi last time.

    As somebody heavily invested in Le Richebourg that was both enjoyable and painful to watch. Great performance from Glen Forsa there and championship races beckon at the festival now because he's clearly ruled himself out of thd handicaps. Likely to be rated early 150s after that.
    Alcohol, because no good story ever started with "I was eating this salad..."
