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

    6/1 nrnb seems to have some upside, if he's there i think he'll go off more like 3s to 4s

    My 8s on Supasundae is getting me more excited.

    Was just thinking the same. 13/2 with Lads (NRNB and boosted to 7/1) too tempting to ignore given the way he disposed of Penhill at Punchestown and he certainly wasn’t done with when coming down behind Apple’s Jade

    Having taken big prices about Cracking Smart for this a number of weeks back, it's good to see the entry confirmed.

    Hope rather than expectation though.

    Fab result! I thought my ante post at 15s hadn't taken on my betfBet account but it had!

    For me this has been the best Cheltenham ever. My 10th winner so far.

    On a separate note (and I love being proved right!) I said Sam Spinner didn't like those plastic hurdles and there was nothing wrong with him!

    Great race - shameColliver didn’t give the gallant Sam Spinner that ride last year.

    I could not bring myself to back the winner thought he was too short but brilliant watching his Inglis Drever impression.

    Supasundae didn't stay as some said. Falls in the Monalee category. Too good for grade 2s not good enough for grade 1s.

    Yup. One that got away.
    All comers, all grounds, all beaten!

    This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.

    Wouldn't surprise me if he ran up a sequence. Perfect for this, some bloody engine.

    Tremendous effort from Sam Spinner and great to see the machine in good nick. Legend of a horse.

    I could name a whole host of horses that have won grade ones but aren't top class. I really like Supasundae, but he's just a very good yardstick that will always find 1 or 2 too good.

    If you were laying him at sp every time he ran you would be losing a healthy amount.
