This makes Montbazon's 1 lenght defeat on HIS debut look very good indeed, particularly as he is described asIf you look at the Supreme, he hardly jumped a hurdle fluently. Had he done better in that respect, he may well have won, although there were other "what if's" in that race as well. The trainer said all along he wasnt sure whether he was quite readyhttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/28828805/montbazon---supreme-novices?post_id=524055125#524055125If you look at the Supreme, he hardly jumped a hurdle fluently.

There look to be several reasons why he may improve. He was quite keen in his races as a novice, he wasn't the cleanest of jumpers, and he still has some growing to do.

Lost a few lengths in total throughout the race from not being fluent. Definate future potential though i'd say.Hoping Grumeti will get the money back tbh.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/28828805/montbazon---supreme-novices?post_id=517480605#517480605Yeah possibly though they will need to improve his jumping.

He also looks more of Aintree type so maybe get our money back there.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/28828805/montbazon---supreme-novices?post_id=517480039#517480039I always felt he was lacking the star quality to win - mind you I'd have said the same about the winner.
