It's always been a shock to the system for the juveniles going forward to next year,at the moment they need to be near world beaters with regards to be potential CH contenders for next year.

Leoncavallo was the first English trained horse home which is sad in itself. This is a race that GB used to win most years but the first 4 were Irish this time. The winner looked quite small and stocky so he does not look like a horse that will progress much but never underestimate the O'Briens.
