He was heavily eased at the finish and the Fav fell early, but for me he won rather well and looked like he could have done another 1/2i'm a big fanlooks like he's a handicap project too me.jumped like a stag, the biggest question is whether jonjo can get him to the festival 100%, been a notoriously hard horse to train.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/26686021/alfie-sherrin?post_id=482792029#482792029i'm a big fanlooks like he's a handicap project too me.jumped like a stag, the biggest question is whether jonjo can get him to the festival 100%, been a notoriously hard horse to train.Tue, 25 Jan 2011 05:50:36 -0600templett as long as he gets a racing weight I dont think that will be a problem. 139 imo would be worse case imo that would put him 20lbs ahead of knock who is a solid 125 horsehttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/26686021/alfie-sherrin?post_id=482786733#482786733templett as long as he gets a racing weight I dont think that will be a problem. 139 imo would be worse case imo that would put him 20lbs ahead of knock who is a solid 125 horseTue, 25 Jan 2011 04:13:54 -0600actually abbot I dont think he'd get that much on reflection tbh so perhaps not as bad as I was thinking.We'll see anyway.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/26686021/alfie-sherrin?post_id=482786213#482786213actually abbot I dont think he'd get that much on reflection tbh so perhaps not as bad as I was thinking.We'll see anyway.Tue, 25 Jan 2011 04:00:27 -0600The trouble is that last year's winner carried 11-0.Alfie would be 1lb off top weight at best if he was allotted 139.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/26686021/alfie-sherrin?post_id=482785893#482785893The trouble is that last year's winner carried 11-0.Alfie would be 1lb off top weight at best if he was allotted 139.Tue, 25 Jan 2011 03:53:16 -0600how stiff would you say sint. He only beat a 125 rated horse getting 6lbs from him. If he gets a mark of say 139 Id say that would be perfect for him. Incidentaly the same mark as last years winner.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/26686021/alfie-sherrin?post_id=482784253#482784253how stiff would you say sint.

McCoy looked like he was happy to let the front 2 go and have a race untill the higher rated one fell. At that point he put his horse in the race and won as he liked.
