We couldn't round the festival off properly at all yesterday. A promising enough start with Grumei running well for a place, nit there was nothing after that. Boston Bob was the banker of the day, but found just one better. I thought our 40/1 shot Tornado Bob ran a cracker, just finding the hill too tough after looking a good thing turning the corner. He will suit a similar race over a flatter track, and maybe a furlong shorter. Midnight Chase's jumping in the Gold Cup really let him down. Too many uncharacteristic mistakes that took it's toll turning the corner.
