    What a FANTASTIC ride Davy Condon there.

    He realised Benbulben, Dedigout, Mikael, and Oscars were all to be held up and he rode them all to sleep. Very, very smart.

    Nice double stick <ok>

    Realt Mor, slightly surprised but not at all shocked, I knew he would be at least 10 lengths clear but I was quite confident his jumping wouldnt hold up and he would come back to them. Mistake cost Mount Benbulben his chance.

    He isnt a chaser, been saying it since the start of the season, I cant believe anyone even looked at him in that field.

    Got Wicked Wilma to come and this is my last bet today, Dul Ar An Ol 5/2 in the next at Cork, he should have a huge chance.

    Very true, jumping is the name of the game and unfortunately they let themselves down
    too often. Nice ride by Davy Condon though.

    I agree Oscars Well isn't a chaser but they had no chance winning grade ones over hurdles either so i suppose they've decided to give it a go. That was a fairly weak grade one chase and he had no chance.

    Watched the race again, I think Mount Benbulben would have won if he didnt make that mistake.

    I tought that also, that mistake flattened him altogether. He has to improve his jumping as he has potential to be a very good horse.

    I'll take a pop in that Plumpton hurdle and go for a 20/1 each way shot in the form of Laughton Park. A poor race so i'll forgive the last two runs for a trainer and jockey that do well when teaming up here.
