Cheltenham Festival

I would have thought it was obvious that Gauvain travelled all over Riverside Theatre et al last time out, but basically didn't stay the trip - Riverside pulled away at the business end. Take out Master Minded and you're lfet with a weakish champion chase. I would have thought this course and distance winner would be far better off taking his chance there, given his cruising speed?

He was miles behind when tackling MM over 2 miles though unless he improves a fair bit on that he wont be placed will he?
Looks a good horse but just short of top class IMO. |

Stable were in gash form. His reappearance win was decent, if he can post his usual 166 personal best in the CC he won't be far off.
