Outstayed by Native River an out and out stayer; surely the will atone in the King George.

Delighted for Native River; he's never had the credit he deserved but he will now! He's won a Hennessy, a Welsh National off top weight and now a Gold Cup. The race panned out exactly as I thought it would, apart from Our Duke disappointing (maybe the Presenting Percy race took more out of him that it did Percy).
To win a Gold Cup from the front in that ground, galloping them into submission is some acheivement - it was Denman-esque. |

Yep,absolutely fantastic Chief.
I wanted Might Bite to win,but i will always remember a great race provided by two great horses on the day. |

By:
Definitely Budd. Never really been a Might Bite fan myself but he ran an absolute blinder.

virtual 2 horse race after a circuit the 2 of them had everything cooked a long way out ,winner the stronger stayer in the conditions, on good ground may have been a different story but take nothing away from the winner very game !

Great race with two horses and jockeys that never put a foot wrong. The ground was the deciding factor and on better going Might Bite would have won imo - he went up massively in my estimation today. Only just noticed that Might Bite is older - just assumed he was the younger horse. He'll be 10 next year so surely his last chance.
Similar to Denman and Kauto Star - two totally different animals with different requirements but a great rivalry. Presumably Tizzard will do the same campaign next year and MB will go for the King George. Road To Respect ran well considering the trip and ground were against him - if they aimed at the KG he could be a good rival for MB but presumably he'll stay in Ireland. Hopefully they both get there in the same form next year and if Davy Russell on Presenting Percy can sit a few lengths off them and gradually creep into it it could be a belter. |

I see henderson is touting this fellah for a decent run at cheltenham this year, i hope the horse gets up the hill, and i hope nick has got the bottom of him and done the business

I hope the op has a positive effect, and he'd recapture his form of last season; his run against NR was a belter. A repeat please, Might Bite.

Still think he will be very vulnerable from the second last. He needs to be travelling very easily in the lead by then to have any chance. Don't forget that he almost threw away the RSA up that same hill over a furlong less. If it was 3 miles on a flat track I would never rule him out but it isn't.

By:
Yeh, their does seem to be some confidence behind him getting back to his best form.
I cannot have him at all really after watching him this season,but every horse has a price,and i have stuck him in an e/w multiple,and if conditions on the day are in his favour and the vibes are good,i will look at his price. |

By:
If MB can run up o his Gold Cup form of last season and the forecast is inaccurate (30m this wednesday and another 20mm next tues/wed) he could be a thorn to all. At this price he's a trade (in-running), I think, if one is that way inclined.
