I also think he had a hard race in the Gold Cup and although a lot fresher i think he is worth taking on.pretty much what i thought,not Gold cup class.https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/26278069/what-a-friend---betfair-chase-72?post_id=475037413#475037413pretty much what i thought,not Gold cup class.Sun, 21 Nov 2010 03:56:53 -0600oh dear picked by Tom Segal!

He's only raced 12 times and he's also had a wind op which could count for something, going on what Ruby has said.https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/26278069/what-a-friend---betfair-chase-72?post_id=474717305#474717305Bud, you've taken it as a given that What A Friend hasn't improved.
