Positive   Any winner of the Whitbread has proven a big degree of stamina .
Negative   didn't get very far in the Becher .

I would be worried, it wasn't that he just fell in the Becher it was the way he just stood there after as if he had had enough of the track. When they enjoy it they always seem to go around with the other horses

Didn't he fall 2 out ?

Yes he did and he looked like he had had enough long before then

So are we saying no chance then ?

Not saying no chance at all. Obviously it's Sandown run gives it a good chance but it's run over the Aintree course if that's how it's going to perform gives it no chance. Horses tend to perform very well and love the track or don't seem to want to know. I just wonder how it's suddenly going to turn it's last run at the track around.

too young

IMHO he's the class horse in the race but I can't remember any previous class horse running well, Long Run frinstance. Having said that, I love the horse and I'll have to be on

No increase in OHR, Festival last time out, had a spin hurdling, 20odd days since last run. If I had to back an 8yo this would be it. Same characteristics apply to 9yo Cause of Causes, in fact his OHR has dropped since his last handicap run. Good luck with TYM, I might have a saver on it
