Useful - you don't know a lot about Egerton, do you?! :laughing: He'll be constantly changing his mind, which is par for the course with him!! He'll be trying to put no-one away - quite the opposite; he stated early the horse was unlikely to go to Cheltenham so punters were aware of that before they baked him heavily for a Festival race. Edgy will have left him in the RSA to keep all options open, as Grass has said - it is a favourite ploy of his. If the horse wins the Pendil doing handsprings (which isn't an impossibility!) then he may well be tempted to go to Cheltenham, even the RSA, after all. He is not a man who likes to overface his horses by pitching them into hot company before he thinks they are ready.

I'm with Grassy that he is on a decent bet - the horse is very useful and is highly regarded. I'm not especially worried about the trip - he shapes like a horse who will stay and was second as a novice over hurdles to Geeveem over 2m6f. He also has the physique of a 3m chaser and is a lovely prospect of an animal indeed.
