I watched that race and he won very nicely. Good shout there, never a moment of doubt once they entered the straight.
That was Paul Nicholls first G1 since the same race last year? Am I reading that correctly? Sending him to Aintree again is bizzare to me, Ryanair chase would be ideal you would think, just let him off. Been pulled up twice at Aintree and one win, not as if he's sure to go there and win, higher chance of being PU.
Yeah first Grade 1 in 12 months. 140+ in his career. You could tell in his itv interview the fire still rages but he just doesn’t have the ammo.
