4 runner race round aintree was never going to play to his strengths, jumping was just safe, only question is whether he can stay close enough in the gold cup, if he can nothing is going to have as much in tank after the last
Don Poli all over a National horse for me. If he wins the CGC I'd be sorely tempted to make history with him and go for the National
Won't stay close enough, will have far too much to do up the home straight and will plug on for a place at best
Don Poli made hard work in getting the better Many Clouds at Aintree, but the going sure wasn't in his favour and the runner up ran a great race in defeat. Will the winner have just one more before the Gold Cup? He's still a leading contender with many punters and the one to beat.
My take on the Tingle is Special Tiara to go at some pace - Fade away 2 out Vibrato on the bridle with SDG alongside Vibrato eeks out a bit more and wins with Somersby staying on for 3rd
Josses Hill What? A fence? **** that SDG had them cooked but jumped a bit gingerly at the last 2 and let them back in
Definite interference but Special Tiara had every chance to go past. SDG should keep that race. Unbiased view that as I was on Somersby
