Loads with massive question marks - Teahupoo bombed in the Champion Hurdle last time the ground was this quick . A lot have poor form on the course . Langer Dan is a hound but I am not sure he would stay even if in form . Gowel Road doesn't look good enough - possibly Lucky Place .
The intriguing one is Bob Olinger - brilliant round Cheltenham and will like the ground but I should have thought from the run in the Christmas Hurdle that he did not stay so interesting they ae persevering .
 
I think he stayed down to a superb ride from Rachel who dropped him out and sent him to sleep almost. He's always had that touch of class around here and I am thrilled for the horse and connections.
 
Is he one of the most underrated horses in training? I think when horses win races because potential superstars fall and give them the race ( eg Moscow Flyer and Istabraq) they sometimes spend their career having people never giving them the credit they deserve.

I remember his win in the Ballymore and the hype leading up to the race, he blew the field away and I think he has been a victim of his own success since that, everyone expected him to be the next Arkle and it just didnt work out for him.
But he proved today he still has an engine.
 
Interesting that the owner said he was injured while novice chasing and they could never pin point what was wrong
 
Yes didn’t they find some injury in his back when looking for something else . They were pretty sure he was carrying the injury when he ran against GDC.
