    Viking Blond very unlucky again - always in the front line and just found a couple too good. Cracking performance.

    When Grand Crus hits 7/4 I'm going to be laying the **** out of him. Don't think he's up to winning this off 157 in a race this competitive.

    14:35 Cheltenham - Poquelin

    (Don't usually bet on top weights in soft ground, but this one does well at Cheltenham. We'll soon see how well today!).

    Cant believe Grands Crus is going to go off at 7/4 in a race this competitive. The people backing it must be absolutely mad!! Not had a bet but got Al Ferof on my placepot that is still going.

    7/4 Grands Crus is a joke in a race like this.

    Well done Al Ferof backers. A dour, strength sapping race, and a great performance from the winner.

    Overhyped, overrated and now put in his place. One of the worst prices you'll ever see

    Stunning performance by Al Ferof off 3lb higher. Great call Toppy
