top notch - ryanair

gone ....

He's the latest casualty. It seems to claim a high profile runner each day this week. Who'll be next?

Any news?

Confirmed out by Hendo, decision on WP expected on Friday.... wonder if this will affect the decision

Another one bites the dust.

Thanks ef

Such a shame.
Hope hes not too bad, and is back soon..

Nothing serious,apparently not his usual self in work.
Could see him at Aintree or Sandown.

Ran terrible last time didnt have much chance imo

Disagree. Likes cheltenham and a better horse on better ground (if he got it).

Shame he is out. Races cutting up pretty badly.

I fancied him before his last run but dont think you can come to the Festival confident off the back of that run. Might have gone over the top, rest and come back.

He had every chance on his best form,but hes obviously not right at the moment,and he werent in his last run either.

His last run was a mystery.

Apparently, On The Blind Side did not work the house down either and when asked by Olly Hendo did not volunteer a comment. Hopd he does not go the same way too.

A mystery? Pretty clear his jumping did not hold up when the race hotted up, nothing mysterious about it

His below par performance, that's what I meant.

Theres plenty mysterious.
Hes always jumped well.

Exactly, he jumped beautifully except one in the JLT last season.

I dont think he is quite top class. Last time out the ground wasnt ideal for him but even so he looked outclassed to be fair. I have him in the same bracket as Bristol De Mai but on different ground, best of the second tier of horses at the trip when the ground is right.

Wouldn't disagree.

Its possible hes not quite top class,but hes certainly better than his last run,as his run before that tells us.
Anyway,hes a non runner now.

Yes back to the weather thread it's more exciting
