Yes you were right weeks ago when you said it was the Gold Cup for stayers.

There's more to be learned from today's renewal.

I think it confirmed that Noble Yeats was a bit of a freak result for a 7yo. Iroko was the only one this year to complete (I think) and Meetingofthewaters ran some way better than last year when he looked like a non-stayer.

The Bobbyjo again proved the best trial.

I've written myself a note in large letters: DO NOT BACK ANTE-POST BAR BOBBYJO RUNNERS AND WAIT FOR THE FINAL DECS TO SEE THE PREVAILING CONDITIONS. There must have been five or six I backed that I should have ignored, just because I wanted them onside at a price.

Even Nick Rockett, which I got 'only' 20s about on the morning of the Bobbyjo ended up going off some way longer.
