I would assume some think that he simply didn't act around Cheltenham.

However, although that looked like a legitimate reason, it looked like he was outpaced to me, which would be a huge worry today.

bg says it got out paced and didn't give it a hard race..also punches more gallopping track will suit better..atr micro site full remarks.

It is the 'outpaced' bit that worried me, I must confess.

The dangers have issues OSANA hardrace at Cheltenham/Aintree and Captain Cee bee cant jump at pace and breaks blood, think this race has all ingrediants for an upset, problem cant find which one

BG is quite capable of giving any hoss a shocker. Hard to think so in a Grade 1 innit.. It's his excuses that make me smile..

cheltenham is a bit of a rabbit track though quito

To be honest Koo, I haven't got any strong views pro or against Riverside Theatre - I was just very surprised that he was jolly.

As for the opposition having hard races at Cheltenham, presumably the reason RT didn't was because he wasn't good enough to have a hard race?

Racing Post says the undulating track at cheltenham didnt seem to suit him last time so better can be expected on this course.

The same RP's description of Punchestown? Right handed undulating track..

Unless he wont mind the hills going right handed, always a possibility!

I would be willing to put a line right through his Cheltenham run and while he is underpriced today he is one of the more unexpossed in the field.

I think Psycho is the interesting one in the race. Hacked up lto in a decent hcap and looks to be improving. I know Sports Line beat him comfortably at Navan but that was only soft ground and most of the runners in this are coming off the back of hard races whereas Psycho looks to have been kept fresh for this.

I would be slightly concerned for psycho that ruby cant ride him. horse seems to go much better for him than other jockeys

Not having Ruby in the saddle in a slight concern as he haves a great record on the horse although Davy knows the horse well and i dont see it as a massive negative.

punchestown and cheltenham are both undulating tracks in the same way as Ben Nevis and Mount Everest are big mountains

I dont know wether it should be fav or not,but if you watch its cheltenham run there should be a bubble above the head of the horse about half way asking the jockey "why are we stopping?"
