    Hold on, top weight owned and bred by Hamdan, trained by Haggas, ridden by Hanagan, @ 25/1? That'll do

    From talking to people who watched the race apparently the pace was a joke (which he would have hated) and as a result didn't settle. If thats the case then I think he did extremely well to finish as close as he did on ground that wouldn't have been ideal

    Dan, I seem to remember saying hard luck. no offence meant...was just revelling in winning a nice few quid....and the AOB blinkered brigade was meant for one person only.

    25 seconds off standard time which was why Jamie travelled well but could not quicken. Ballydoyle who usually run pacemakers everywhere have messed up a little today with that i feel. It's hard to say if it made a winning difference but he has won he's previous cups with genuine staying performances and today was not a staying Gold cup.

    He does seem to struggle to win races at Ascot fairly. Mind having been robbed by his antics on Rewilding last year I'm not going to complain too much this time.......
