N'golo was doing his best work at the end, he also was caught in a pocket rounding the home turn, he will appreciate the Cheltenham hill I'd say.
The mare did it well and remains unbeaten but take Ronald Pump out of the race for the Stayers Hurdle - flew after the last
Hi Oddy. I did have a good each way bet on him last Festival at 25/1 and he had a terrible run to the last. I’ve backed him twice at 20/1 for this year’s race. He’ll be less now and will run a very big race- the most improved stayer in training last season.
Nice one Tam. I do think Thyme Hill will take all the beating though (at this very early stage of the season)
Yeah, I think the problem was that the horse wants a decent pace to aim at and when they didnt go fast enough the young jock thought he had better do something about it. He got outpaced early in the straight but maintained the gap from the last. He is in the right zone regarding his mark, may even get a couple more back today, so he will be winning soon.
4th..not the best from the jockey who took her right round the inside which doesn't help on that ground at Leicester..
