Just been looking through the race and whilst I know the general train of thought is this one is better on a flat track (I felt the same) i feel his recent win and run in last seasons Grand Anual prove other wise.
Tongue Tie seems to have done the trick and this one could still be on the upgrade.

Any news?

George believes his seven-year-old will stay 3 miles and has his eye on the three mile contest at
yeah agree think he got an out side chance

George said after the race: “This horse deserved a big one. He has been a bit ring-rusty at this time of year before but is sharper now.

"I think he'll get three miles at Aintree and the meeting in April will be his big target, but we will think about the Ryanair at Cheltenham."

Aintree in April with a tilt at the 2m 5f Ryanair Chase on day three of the Cheltenham Festival also on the cards.

sounds good. Not sure about him as a 3miler but if his jumping holds out in the Ryanair he could be there come the final fence.

Agree Poq is the one to beat Ive had a bit on Jyvole at 44s but laid my stake back at 16.5 for a free bet. Tartaks next on the radar though ive not bet just yet.
