But hopefully Miller can run in another handicap and be a decent price.https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/26143733/greatwood-hcap-hurdle-sunday-november-14th-2010-in-cheltenham?post_id=474363701#474363701Yeah I'd be of the belief now Miller beat Menorah at Aintree becuase of the latters tough race at Cheltenham.

That was in the days leading up to the race. I'd agree he should be given another chance given he beat Menorah last season.https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/26143733/greatwood-hcap-hurdle-sunday-november-14th-2010-in-cheltenham?post_id=474339057#474339057I think they said they wished they could have got a run into General Miller before this, but he seemed in good form at home.

Johnson did a great job in knowing Menorah would be better sticking to the better ground and would be less tired at the end. I think he idles a little bit on the run in.

So it was a good decision to send Menorah on the outside given he won the race in the end. Credit due for that decision.https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/26143733/greatwood-hcap-hurdle-sunday-november-14th-2010-in-cheltenham?post_id=474209697#474209697Yep they were saying in commentary that jockeys said the outside line had the best ground.
