With racing cancelled today RUK filled up with the 2012 festival, opinions were;
ROR overpriced for the CH Darlan too short for the above Quevaga different class Champion Court a player around 2m5 Lay Long Run Overturn and Simonsig closer than the prices
ROR overpriced for the CH - Agree Darlan too short for the above - Agree Quevaga different class - Agree Champion Court a player around 2m5 - Don't think he's good enough Lay Long Run - On the fence. Think the price is fair. Overturn and Simonsig closer than the prices - Disagree. Must be one of only a few that thought Overturn was unimpressive last time. His strength over hurdles was his speed over and away from the obstacles but he doesn't have that over fences to my eye. Don't think he'll get close to Simonsig, although others might be closer than the prices suggest.

I saw some of the Cheltenham 2012 highlights and have recorded for future reference.
Completely agree about RoR, travelled like a dream to my eye and won with some style.
Bizarrely, the other horse who caught my eye was Albertas Run who jumps those fences for fun - he'd need the ground to dry up but will be under the radar 'cos he's 12 now and has been off since April. Trainer is master at prepping 'em for a Festival race though.
I also think that race might have taken its' toll on Riverside Theatre.

Agree re Riverside Theatre. I backed him in the race last year and vowed on the spot never to back him again! The horse won despite never travelling and think the race totally bottomed him; came out 3 wks later and unsurprisingly ran a lacklustre sulky race. The horse looks moody to me. Would love to be proved wrong but cannot back him again.
