We all know he is better on good ground, but surely if the going is as given (with the possibility of it drying out further) he should running in what is a very average renewal? He could run well below his best and finish third. He has wins on soft ground.

Looks an even worse decision now with the front two disappointing. Banbridge is a very good jumper and should have been able to put pressure on the leader. Opportunity tossed away.
Complete mugs, are they waiting for good ground in Ireland ?
Hard to believe Bartlett sponsors at the Festival. Pulled this one, didn't want to run Ballyburn.
He will need to win the melling chase to make up for this terrible decision.
I'm not sure why you think he'd have won today - he hated the ground in the Drinmore.
Not saying he would had won, its more that the ground isnt that bad and his record on the track is superb.
The latter is very true. I fancied him for this myself until the weather turned.
The ground was probably better today, and he still finished third in the Drinmore. As per the opening comment before the race I think he would have been at least placed today.
Pathetic decision.
Only one Cheltenham and even if he flopped plenty of time to get ready for Aintree - and no guarantee it won’t be soft there.

Time 5m. 12.31 secs, which is 11.95 secs faster than the course average on today's going
It is not that soft.
