Was at the track today and have not watched the race on TV but from track side SC looked fantastic for 2m6f and just got tired so highlighting the fact he needed the run. His jumping looked great and looked like Noel F  took him out front to get a good look at his fences and have a good day out. SC's season was not about today. TDS looked a complete plodder over 3m to me. Yes he ran on at the end but never looked a threat to win. Was not convinced by TDS over 3m at all. Caveat is I have not watched the race on TV. Cant believe the Gold Cup winner ran in this race today.

This looked very much like a prep run for SC to put him spot on for the Betfair Chase, where I expect to see a different horse.

Didn't he make quite a significant improvement between first and second runs last season?

Betfair Chase: In touch, headway to track leaders 6 out, every chance before 3 out.

King George: Always prominent, hard driven 3 after 3 out, led approaching last, stayed on strongly.

Turned around the form with Cue Card & Dynaste in the process.

Something to consider, at least.

Not sure getting smashed by Menorah constitutes a good run myself, re TDS.
Agree re SC, in that he improved massively for his 1st run last season,and I would certainly fancy him to run a big race at Kempton again,where he will be primed.
Don't see the GC as his race though, his chance was last season and I now am fairly confident hes a flat track horse.
Of the others that ran yesterday at Wetherby,dont fancy any of them at all for the GC.
Road to Riches was the most impressive horse I saw this weekend as a possible GC contender, but 3m2f may be a tad too far?
