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

That could open Pandora's box...

I hope not. Some lovely prices for him in the RSA. See how he does this weekend.
Pocket talking for sure but I thought that was an awful ride by David Bass

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.
All comers, all grounds, all beaten!
This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.
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.
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.

I really like Le Richerbourg and he is stunning looking

La Bague au Roi skipping Cheltenham.
Klashnikov decommissioned fairly abruptly there.

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.
