    Yanworth was half baked today, nothing about the race suited him, but Geraghty hardly had to move to go away up that short run in. Coming up the hill at Cheltenham, he'll be a different animal <ok>

    I was a big shouter for his Champion Hurdle claims and I do think Cheltenham will suit him 10x better than Kempton and Wincanton, so he is not without hope. But with his ability he would be most interesting over the 3m too.

    Suspect Jezki will go to the stayers though now after his defeat.

    What a horse Cue Card has been for connections and the whole racing community.Such a warrior! Wishmore is making his hcapp debut for Mouse Morris in 4.15 and could be overpriced at 7s.

    Oh, that did the heart good. What a wonderful racehorse Cue Card is. This could be one hell of a Gold Cup this year............

    Cue Card strolled that. I was most confident with Jezki today and he lost. God damn you horse racing.

    Hopefully that puts Cue Card spot on for a nice run in the Gold Cup. Hope he bows out at the top- what a 7 years he has had. Mixed it with just about everyone at every distance! Form through Sprinter Sacre to Bobs Worth.

    I think he'll be finding it hard to win the Gold Cup as perhaps he's just a little too old- but it's a funny old year.

    Desert Sensation would have been better served if his jockey had been given a map before the off.<doh>
