I couldn’t remember where I saw it but I knew ut was in here! Let’s hope he does the business today.

Was absolutely cruising when making that mistake at a crucial time; it was at that fence that the pace quickened, I think, leaving him flat-footed. I wish they'd ride him more prominently.

We were on the wrong 40/1 shot

Yes, unlucky, that was the worst time to lose momentum.

This marathon was run at a steady pace with the tempo only really lifting at the third-last, and it paid to be prominent. The first three home were all maidens over fences. RP analysis after the race was run.

Goes to show that when do don't race handy off a slow pace, it's difficult to respond when the pace quickens.

Haven't given up hope on this fellow.
