He's done as well as he could, given the competition.

I personally feel Peace And Co is in a different parish to Hargam and Top Notch. I have him pounds above them and the only horse to progress as a Champion Hurdle horse.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30455165/so-just-how-unlucky-was-the-new-one-this-year?post_id=544174609#544174609It's funny how we all view things differently.
