Horse doesnt seem a natural 2 miler to me.
He always seems to be going a stride to quick for his liking.
With Big Zeb/Sizing around.surely a step up in trip is on the cards?
Ryanair could be the target but with geraghty having no gold cup horse lined up,he might go for gold cup.
This horse has a touch of class,has won over 2 1/2 m,(should have won p2p),so I believe he has a great chance of staying.
Reminds me a bit of kicking king at this stage of his career
opinions?

Not for me. He looks a stayer physically, but I just do not think his form suggests he would stay. Over hurdles he did not get home IMO in te Challow or Ballymore (although he possibly had excuses).

he didn't stay 2 and a half as a novice hurdler so he wouldn't be for me either.

he's probably a short runner at 2 miles at the top level, speed to burn imo.

the opposite in fact, ive seen this horse in the flesh several times and he is all speed, wants 1 1/2 m if that were possible.

jesus christ. More chance of Elvis arriving at the Festival butt naked on the back of Arkle.

champion chase imo

No Chance of getting more than 2 1/2 with his running style. Big engine and cruising pace.

Seemed to be a bit soft at the finish of the Arkle,although its possible he was outstayed by CC.Well he was outstayed,but he was going far better 2 out than the winner and imo had he finished the race like a class horse he would have won the race.
He will be a stronger horse this year so may finish his races off better,but i will leave him alone as re Antepost betting,unlike last year when i had him at 32 for the Arkle  He is a 2 miler though i am pretty sure of that,and cannot see him anywhere near a Gold Cup. |

Two miles on a flat track suits him ideally imo.

No way would Henderson ever aim FR at the Gold Cup
