Comfortable enough for Battleoverdoyen, runner up is now 1 from 13 over fences with the only win being a 3m2 handicap off 143, looked a soft touch G2 and he had to win easily, will face much tougher next time probably in the in PJ Moriarty.
Alan King in some form - that's something like only 8 of his last 32 runners finished outside the places and some lovely priced winners
well,what a thriller!great ride too,he was really cool there. cheltenham,3 30: all 5 have good chances,but i ve the feel,that SCARDURA will progress a lot again,and he won really well at taunton last time out,with the second going in again since.not sure,what substance that form has,but he couldnt do more than win like he did,which was quite impressive.this is another step up in class,but he might well be up to it.yard also in decent form.
