Typically, I wasn't on at 50/1 as I thought he had looked a handicap project. He was ridden with more restraint and finished nicely. It looked as if he would stay further, butPulled, not that much of a surprise.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31891235/115-ascot---west-hill-verde?post_id=565296667#565296667Pulled, not that much of a surprise.Sun, 29 Mar 2026 05:56:09 -0500Made a few quid out of backing this horse at big prices in good races. Unlucky not to finish closer last time. Different scenario tomorrow.

Didn’t notice Cobden doing much wrong but the horse looked truculent more than once, jumped poorly at another losing several positions and swerved noticeably on run in.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31891235/115-ascot---west-hill-verde?post_id=565149753#565149753Crystal looked a quirky sort to me.
