I'd have to agree. My Way de Solzen may come on for that, but the impression it left is that something is still not quite right. I don't know whether that would be mental or physical, but what we saw yesterday we wouldn't have seen in previous seasons from him. Whatever pace was set you still wouldn't have expected Lough Derg to be capable of beating him over two and half, even less so on a sharp track if MWDS were anywhere near his best. For me he left the impression that he didn't go through with it. Less we forget he has won a World Hurdle and an Arkle. He shouldn't have been beaten by Lough Derg for either speed or stamina over that trip yesterday.
