I thought that it was a great festival.

State Man was a worthy Champion Hurdler. He isn't Constitution Hill but he compares favourably with most of the other champions of the last thirty years.

Gaelic Warrior, Corbett's Cross and Ballyburn put up imense performances. Fact to File did the business without being flashy.

Who couldn't but be delighted for Rachael & Henry with both Slade Steel and Captain Guinness.

Grey Dawning, Teahupoo, Protektorat and Inothewayurthinkin all very impressive on Thursday.

Close finishes in the Plate, and the County and Pipe Hurdles.

A couple of wins for the small trainers with Jeremy Scott and Fiona Needham.

And an outstanding Gold Cup winner.

Other than the unfortunate abscence of most of Henderson's best horses, I thought that it had everything.
