    Think that's what's so promising about it. 2m4f on soft at Carlisle and coping with it doing handstands suggests its a very high class stayer in the making. Very persuasive claims.

    Road to the Gold Cup 2020

    Didn’t Colin Tizzard say after he won the Dipper that he wanted to go RSA with this fella but Robbie Power was adamant the shorter race was right for him?

    I’d say Tizzard had it right based on getting outpaced by Defi twice since and on his Aintree run

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

    I did love LIT at the weekend but the exuberance of his jumping makes me a bit hesitant in thinking of him as a proper 3m2f horse just yet

    Interesting to see how LIT copes with BDM at Haydock.
    All comers, all grounds, all beaten!

    This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.

    If he wins tomorrow, he may be the second coming

    If he wins tomorrow 33/1 triple crown looks a good price. Think he’ll be as low as 3/1-7/2 for this.

    I like Bristol for this race though, it’s his Gold Cup, for a horse who’s finished third in a Gold Cup it sounds silly. I’ve decided this and the Altior race are now just watching spectacles.

    Superb ride. Tizzard always said he was a serious horse when he beat Defi last season. Got to be dreaming of the Gold Cup now.

    Didn't think he'd stay

    He must be some flipping horse to have those gears and win around there

    Mullins looking to drop Douvan in trip rather than stepping up.

    Grievehill should be fav for the king George.

    Carried 5Lb more than The betfair runners and ran over a second faster.
