I liked the run from Empire Of Dirt. He traveled nicely and stayed on at the finish. I don't think he was helped by Don Poli drifting into him on the run in. I think he could run into a place in March.
Bunk Off Early was the one I'd take from today. Travelled beautifully just didn't get through it as well as the winner when push came to shove.
Exciting days racing but with the exception of On the Fringe I doubt we've seen any other Cheltenham winners today.
Might be an idea to fire some of these posts onto the Gold Cup thread Oddy as they'll get lost in here, that is assuming we have such a thread?!
I did take the liberty of starting one as nobody else can be ****ing arsed http://www.not606.com/threads/the-2017-cheltenham-gold-cup.341597/ Comments moved
