Got sixth so I'm happy enough with the return as it covers me for the whole race. Might have been third if it hadn't been forced miles wide at the canal turn and who knows how much energy it had to use up to make up the ground.

The winner wasn't on my radar but that was pilot error on my part. I mistyped my rating for him and hadn't noticed my mistake. He was obviously plotted up for a year for this. He was second in the Champion Chase and had come down to 155 so his chance should have been obvious to me.

Well done anyone who backed it. It had been 33/1 on Wednesday, sp 14/1 so somebody 'knew'.
