    Somersby thoroughly deserved his first Grade 1 win and great to see Terry Biddlecombe in the winners enclosure.

    What price was Finian's Rainbow in running? It was a matter of how far he'd win by 3 out...

    You'd have to say Somersby deserved a win after so many good runs without winning <ok>

    For those wishing to swerve my picks - avoid Bold Ransom in the next :)

    Today as been an absolute disaster for Me, Can't pick a winner for My life. I gave Somersby no chance in the Victor Chandler but how he proved Me and a few others wrong. I wonder if connections will still send Finians for the Champion or possibly the Ryanair? Listening to Michael Buckley if he didn't win here it was all up in the air for Cheltenham...

    I'm pleased Somersby was finally able to get his Grade 1 but it must go down as a disappointing result.

    Finian's Rainbow is no Champion Chaser on that evidence and Al Ferof looks for all the world like he wants further. Somersby has been consistently exposed at the very top level so the fact that he was able to win surely suggests that none of those in behind are up to dining at Sir Barney's 'top table'.
