To be fair, the replays showed that his only real mistake was caused by her loose horse and it cost him 6 lengths. Still pilot error to get the run in wrong. He has ridden there often enough.

I must be watching a different reply. Had he produced a decent round of jumping (he has clouted one in the straight and you don't have to hit a fence to produce a sluggish jump) he won have won comfortably. He should improve for a step up in trip but I wouldn't be confident of his jumping given a stiffer test at Cheltenham.
Ridiculous of Walsh to suggest moving the fence just because bungle made a fool of himself.
