Great race for us to watch this afternoon,I feel confident that Cougar Mountain is well up to this,the trip can only help,I much respect G force the video has been replayed time again of last performance,It did travel so well and very unlucky in running,at a much bigger price Casper Netscher is capable of throwing a good run into the mix,just the two runs this year still fresh.

Missed your comments re G Force, mj - his head carriage looked a bit strange at York and I thought he might not like being crowded but he has a win in a 19 runner race, can't bring myself to back him but will be interesting to see whether he proves he was a little unlucky there or whether he was one of those eyecatchers who were flattered in hindsight.

I'm still a Cougar Mountain fan too but still not sure about the trip for him - he should have a beeter chance than over the minimum in the Nunthorpe but can't help feeling he might need even further to give of his best - we'll see.
