Fast ground is against it.

3-1 on here

Chase form looks quite good but it's all been on Irish soft/heavy.

on form i think he has an outstanding chance. at 7/4 and under i would rate more of that one of the best lays of the festival. obviously a talented horse who showed improved form last time out, but for me that is still someway below that shown by no more heroes who i would have made favourite for this.

But he's by Presenting...c'est impossible 

Annie Power 3.25 out to 4.0 yesterday, sleuces up.

That appears to be a bit of a myth duncan. But we'll see.

you dont think there's a strong possibility the World Hurdle winner will improve again on his first chase run @ 3m, angeleyz?

We'll see? Presenting's already had nearly 15,000 runners over jumps..still too soon to say?!


ps i believe it's about the worst cliche regular trotted out by lazy pundits and, as the emoticon suggested, was being mischievous 

I see they used my name in the Racing Post yesterday Bloodstock world page had the headline
"Breeding Bankers"

All his form is on soft ground, hasn't beaten much over fences, strong favourite and lots of lively outsiders. I can see why he's drifting.

oh that is certainly a big possibility duncan but i think he will have to do just that. i'm not so sure this is a two horse race either. blaklion is a decent horse on his day whilst he may have something to find with seeyouatmidnight who could prove hard to peg back if given an easy lead.

you could say that custom, although you could also argue that he hasn't run on this type of ground before so it's not impossible that he could be even better

in fact if you watch a replay of his last run which was on heavy ground, i wouldn't say he had an overly high knee action to suggest heavy ground suited either

But he has run on good ground and run badly, last year at Punchestown.

i think that meeting at punchestown was on pretty much good to soft but i don't think the ground was the reason for his poor showing there. he had a pretty rough race at cheltenham prior to punchestown and he had been very disappointing in his race before cheltenham too.

well no more heroes had every chance there, but im very happy with that result.

no more heroes injured and more of that bleeds

an absolutely brutal race as usual

Just got back from the course
Sad to see it was his last race
