    The Old One does it again - in the way he usually does - the hard way. Hard to crib him though, he is what he is, namely very good with his favoured conditions :)

    Personally I think he's always been just short of Champion Hurdle class but he does have stamina (having won the Neptune) and I am surprised they haven't had a go at the Stayers Hurdle before now.

    I really should leave that ****er alone - I don't think I've ever called one of his races correctly in his long career. When I think he has no chance he wins, when I fancy him he runs like a drain. Fair play to him though <laugh>

    Eh???
    He's not good enough so why does he "deserve" to win it.
    Admiral horse but just not up to winning good grade one's.

    Not through lack of trying, never dodged the challenge. Not top class I admit, doesn't mean he don't deserve it.

    He would have won it 2014, anyone who says otherwise is full of absolute ****e. Jumped the hurdle neck and neck with Jezki and was 5L behind after it with momentum lost. That was his year. He got beat a half length by My Tent at Kempton after blundering the last, he was always going to reverse that at Cheltenham.
