Last horse I had a look at before the race started was Alderwood. Went through his form. Concluded it hadn't a chance.
Just about sums up the week

Worst ride of the week Ruby Walsh. What an utter ****.
What do you mean worst ride?? That was perhaps the BEST ride.
The horse is slow. I said as much beforehand.
He had to use all of him to just get into contention. He's no slower than MB and he was well behind him. I really don't want Kauto Star to win now after that. Overrated cockend.
Im not sure what this "winning from the front" theory is about, but its surely as difficult at Cheltenham than any course in the country. The winner was a better horse. Pure and simple.
Anyone who thinks HF only lost the race because he didnt hit the front 3 out is bonkers IMO
Ruby had to get at him to just maintain his place. He simply could not go any faster. It was a great ride to keep him going and going, and he got him through several traffic issues well.
Nothing is coming from that far behind this week. Carbon copy of the HF ride. Am I talking out of my pocker? Yes. Is Ruby incredibly overrated? You betcha.
