    Hmm ................. testing ground at Haydock hasn't always been the best guide to Supreme form?

    Hats off to Brough Scott & Matt Chapman for talking a whole lot of sense regarding the King George.

    The Jockey Club needs to be reminded that they do not own this historical race and that it should be moved to a track more like Kempton than Sandown!

    I have slight preference for Ascot to Sandown Park. Still ridiculous Kempton is closing.

    They should just move the entire jumps season to Cheltenham and be done with it.

    Agree. And how refreshing to get sensible debate instead of the boot licking hero worshipping ligtweight stuff of recent years (on terrestrial TV)

    The New One may not be out of the very top drawer but he's gutsy. Clyne ran a blinder and L'ami Serge<doh> He's a poor mans Harchibald.

    Possibly. Other than three out though he hurdled really well. Much better jumper of hurdles now than when he was possibly in his prime.

    He jumped right throughout and didn't seem happy from early on.
