I would run The Young Master against the motley crue this season ....I presume he is allowed to run ?

totally agree unclepuncle! had a decent bet on him at bsp in last years gold cup and intend to do the same this time around.

They are a motley crew and many of them could turn the form around. LW was beaten 11 1/2 lengths today and 11 lengths last year when he was later beaten 26 lengths in the Irish Hennessy. Was amazed he won last years GC. On His Own lost many lengths jumping right. I cant see Carlingford Lough Sam Winner or First Lieutenant winning a GC. BB was there and had every chance at 3rd last and made a mistake at that fence which did not help his cause. PFN has previously stated on a few occasions that Cheltenham would not suit Silviniaco Conti and possibly last year proved he was right. BW will improve for the run but may indeed be finished. If R2R wins it would probably be a first time for a Galway Plate runner. While 3 miles at Leopardstown in todays conditions is no joke I keep reminding people that three miles and two and a half furlongs around Cheltenham plus in that hill is something else. Its why horses like Synchronised could win the race. He probably was under-rated but he ticked all the staying boxes which really matter. To me this years race is totally open. SC has the best form but Cheltenham is not his course and he is unlikely to get his ground. He had a marvellous chance in 2014 and failed. Methinks its time to hold on to ones money.

I don't think the GC winner of 2015 has run in the past 2 days. Silvi may be the best horse at 3m but I'm not getting on him at the third attempt. I cannot see any of those behind winning it either.

Todays Lexus if it gives us anything from it then it's Lord Windermere as he will be trained with one race in mind.

This seasons Hennessey is where I would look Smad Place, Houblon Des Obeaux and Many Clouds.
Holywell has one target. The Young Master could improve past them all but I think Mulholland will wait a season

I hope Fry enters Mendip Express
