I think RTR would have won cosily with a better round of jumping. I haven't seen enough of his races to know if that's just him and that's he really just run to form but there's more there in terms of raw ability.
Normally a good efficient jumper. Not sure why he was a bit off yesterday, perhaps the ground (albeit i always had him down as one that wanted nice ground, but perhaps not as quick as yesterday)I think RTR would have won cosily with a better round of jumping.

And as always, meeting random forumites is always a pleasure. Slim sends his love too.
Great to meet you AC and I'm definitely no gent based on my performance Saturday night!ps.. I spent a while yesterday telling Perpetual that (his) Kemboy would win the IGC. He was too much of a gentleman to tell me he hadn't been declared.
