    afternoon.fellas! hope,youre well..
    haydock,1 50:

    i think,KATESON is the one here.ended last season on a rather low note,but to be fair,it came in championship races,and the mersey hurdle form is working out really well now.no easy task under topweight today,but,in my view,hes a horse with big potential for better,and is reunited with tom scudamore,who has a good record on him.maybe,this slightly shorter trip is also an advantage for him.

    got to agree with you here - I don’t know what the fuss is with him.
    Has he even appeared at a major festival yet ?

    Altior is different class

    well,he could be anything still,but i think,altior has that touch of class,and that might be deciding here.but,rather a race to watch and enjoy,no matter the outcome..

    gowran park,2 10:

    hard to get away from getabird here,but he also fluffed his lines last time out,as some others did.MENGLI KHAN is anything but straightforward,but hes got loads of ability,so if hes in the mood,can go very well today..

    Going to make myself look stupid but that wasn’t the trip that beat Altior. I think he was just beaten by the best horse and I fear we’ve seen the best of Altior.

    What a price Cyrname, unreal.

    The mugs diving into Altior, jumped him into the ground.

    No arguing with that - Cyrname a deserving winner, Altior out of his comfort zone early and couldn't quicken past the winner.

    I thought 11/8 was a cracking bet, genuinely stunned that was allowed to go off 5/2.

    Cyrname wont win the King George, today was his day, horses for courses. 2m5 at Ascot he was producing unreal performances but cant back it up anywhere else.

    I'm no authority on breeding (or anything else for that matter) but Cyrname reminds me a lot of Mill House!

    these two statements deserve to be on the same page, throw in a few of the BVD efforts as well

    King George is going to be epic. Really hope for a proper double figure entry with the horses from the Betfair taking on Cyrname and even an Irish horse or two.

    I’ve nailed my colours to Lostintranslation for the KG a long time ago so hopefully he runs a big race in the Betfair

    Bit underwhelmed by that performance but Cyrname loves Ascot whereas I would say one of Altiors least favourite tracks. Will be interesting to see where Henderson goes next with him. Definitely better going left handed though Altior....

    Can't see Cyrname winning the king George..3 miles round Kempton where he won't be able to dictate is very different to that race we 've just seen.
