Only one of the first dozen sure to enter. Loves the place. Race will cut up for me and he'll be no bigger than 7/2 on the day.I'm only saying that comments like 'retire him' and 'over the top' etc that came out after Wetherby are prematurethere is no reason for them to lie about the dirty scope so I take that on trust, therefore I dismiss the Wetherby run and wait for morehttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30121577/long-run---king-george-132-king-george-on-here?post_id=536300599#536300599I'm only saying that comments like 'retire him' and 'over the top' etc that came out after Wetherby are prematurethere is no reason for them to lie about the dirty scope so I take that on trust, therefore I dismiss the Wetherby run and wait for moreMon, 04 Nov 2013 07:32:44 -0600I don't know about highly suspect, as he clearly had issues. The concern for me was the comment by 'gutfeeling' on the headline being removed. 11/1 is the price at the chances though.

I can't see a horse of his calibre just throwing up that sort of performance so suddenly, and it being labelled as form. He put in big performances in every race last season. In gd/sft he might just be the one they have to beathttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30121577/long-run---king-george-132-king-george-on-here?post_id=536299757#536299757I think he'll be back.

He certainly jumped poorly when he was beaten by Grand Crus there.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30121577/long-run---king-george-132-king-george-on-here?post_id=536289841#536289841Perhaps Nicholls will at some stage clarify why Kempton will be Conti's course this year as opposed to last?

He said he's a year older and stronger than last year, and the fall should sharpen his jumping up.He alsohttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30121577/long-run---king-george-132-king-george-on-here?post_id=536289353#536289353It was on the tv this afternoon mate called "Paul Nicholls Feature".He said it was the obvious path, with a prep run between the KG and the GC.
