Cheltenham losers to follow

[Kevloaf]

Delta Work is my idea of the Gold Cup winner. Thought he travelled superbly and was beat by older horses.

We should be looking out for these 6 year old novice chasers next year if this season is anything to go by.

Al Boum Photo, Kemboy & Elegant Escape all ran as 6 year olds last year the improvement has been very noticeable.

The year before you had Top Notch, Politologue, Balko Des Flos all behind Yorkhill in JLT.

Year before that Sizing John, Fox Norton behind Douvan.

Could not agree more Folski.

Haven't looked too deeply at this, but I don't think the age is a huge guide alone?

Since (and including) Best Mate won as a 7 year old in 2002, there have been:

6x 7 year olds
6x 8 year olds
5x 9 year olds
1x 6 year old

Doesn't mean I don't agree that Delta Work could improve past the two that beat him in the RSA, but I don't think it's a given.
