No wonder there was money for Great Field. Should have known, but easy to say after the race!

Fair play to Saint Calvados and Kev's shout
Either way, Altior fans won't be losing much sleep.

But yeah he jumped poorly, wasn't really booted into any of them and never looked right. Interesting when he runs again.
The Arkle wasn't Saint Calvados' true running and he deserves to be shorter than the 4/1 he was in the morning !!

The start of the season has been a bit underwhelming tbh. Not many of Elliotts, Mullins or Henderson horses have shown a great deal yet.
It's a long season and if I'm willing to give Samcro the benefit of doubt I'd also waiver one poor run from Footpad tbh.
Bit silly to overreact on one seasonal reappearance IMHO.

Proper 2 miler IMO.
Tingle Creek next.... roll on Altior
I expect Altior to beat him, before anyone goes mental.
I'm just pleased as he was 4/1 today and 50/1 was too big.

No-one is forcing you to back him at 33/1.... I haven't advised a bet at 33/1 either.

So 1-1. I don't see how anyone could be certain Footpad is a better horse than Saint Calvados.... one was 50/1, one was (can't remember, short though!)

A lack of good runs would back up many trainer comments about not being able to get out on grass.
