According to the Irish Field today Lecky ran the fastest furlong run by a chaser all week.
Not a slow horse by any means then.
I do hope GdeC comes back to his best form; what caught my eye at Leopardstown was that when he quickened away from the rest his conqueror quickened with him, from further back admittedly but stride for stride matched him for end race speed.
Yesterday's race was 2f further and as Jinny said, he looked trained to the minute just like Tied Cottage and co long ago.
As for top 5; Gold Cup form and overall form figures would give different results.
Galopin has run 5 Festivals, never worse than second and should have 4 wins; take away Punchestown and his record is seriously impressive; not one to write off just yet by a long way.
Pity Fastorslow was missing yesterday, he and Hewick would have made it a proper race on that ground.
Kauto is still the king this century however.

[QUOTE="edgt, post: 2696337, member: 65887"] According to the Irish Field today Lecky ran the fastest furlong run by a chaser all week. Not a slow horse by any means then.
