    Straight forecast Sprinter Sacre to beat Sizing Europe - can't see any other outcome. Hopefully we might get 1.20 <laugh>

    Great effort from Sizing Europe, I'd say Sprinter Sacre actually broke a sweat there

    Undoubtedly below his magnificent best, but was still only hands and heels.

    He'll get a well deserved summer holiday now, before returning again next season to thrill us all again <ok>

    NH did say anything less than wins on the bridle will be disappointing...he was right.

    Its been the greatest pleasure ive had in horse racing watching this fella this season.Roll on next year.

    HMMMM, that was a bit crap wasn't it. Bet Cue Card's team are gutted they didn't swerve Aintree and go to Punchy instead. He was beatable today.

    SE ran below form at Cheltenham and was better today...a fact just mentioned by BG on RTE.

    Cue Card wouldn't have had the toe to trouble the first and second today over 2m imo.

    Jezki and Moyle Park, easy money, waiting on Back In Focus for a small fortune.

    What a performance by Moyle Park. Keen as **** the entire way around and what a game attitude to fight them off in the end. He is a horse with a massive, massive future!

    Cracking race and the winner looks a decent sort after running very green.
