Mother of sweet jeeze i never seen an easier winner at Cheltenham he had it won before they came down the hill but the race 3mile 1&1/2 Furlongs Novice hurdle seemed to have finished all off the field. I think 6 of the 9 ran again since and only 2 horses out of that race ran this year the 2nd, Paul Nicholls horse Round Tom Ruby's only mount yesterday at Kempton finished 3rd beaten 48 lengths in a 4 horse race and Catcherinthescratcher beaten near the same distance today finishing 6th of 8th at Navan. I don't know what happened the winner but a good mate of mine is a cousin of the trainer i'll not be able to find out till tuesday because he's away for the Bank Holiday but if anyone knows prehaps they can help. It looked a very promising horse.

hello strontium mate didn't see you round - were you at the festival for the week?
Judo - only just seen this so sorry for the very late reply!
Yes, I was at the Festival all week. I also found the forum was starting to have a very low signal-nose ratio in the fortnight before the Festival which was clouding my thinking - so I ducked out of reading and posting for the week before and the week itself.
In contrast the quality of discussion and analysis was high in the ante-post period.
