Despite what I've said about Santini not being experienced enough for me in this race....... the following comment:
Santini is 12/1 with WH money back if doesn't run.... this is the only possible race he'd go for, and if he ran he'd be 1/3 of those odds AT LEAST.
I would lay off my stake if he did turn up as he isn't my idea of the winner, but his actual form and talent are not deniable and I am going to have 2 pts e/w on.... fully expecting to get my 4 pts back after the week is done... wpn't be everyones cup of tea but he is an emphatic example of a horse that would 100% be shorter if he ran. With the best UK form on offer, quite easily.
(he's 12/1 with WH the same price as Chef Des Obeaux for the same trainer, who he beat and is definitely held in higher regard than)...
Henderson continues to insist he’s a horse for next year, hinting that this year’s Cheltenham isn’t really on his mind at this stage (“I suppose we’ll put him in the Albert Bartlett,” he said post-race at the weekend.)
