"You can give them a sample dish, but NEVER give them the recipe!"

I could be even more facetious than usual and say, "I picked it because I thought it had a nice name" - but that would be rude.

I'm wary of kneejerk reaction to one result - and I got 25s I Am Maximus last year and he did nothing but shorten - but I'd want a bloody good reason to be backing anything ante-post next year, especially if it's ground dependent, because what this year has taught me is that, while they will no doubt try to deliver ground that's on the soft side, whether they actually accomplish their objective is uncertain.

And if I bet anything progressive for it that takes in the Cheltenham Gold Cup along the way, I'd best back it at Prestbury Park too because, if it wins there, I'm far from certain to see it at Aintree!
