    To be fair Kelly fucked up his prep this year - it's one all

      • Won that really well...

        I bet Willie didn't think it was his day after the first circuit

        • Hell of an engine considering he was still far from fluent at many fences.

            Well done Scooby!! Been following you on this one for some time. His engine is so immense he doesn’t even need to jump that well

            • I wish I'd just followed Paul Kealy in the Racing Post Cheltenham guide Kemboy & Al boum photo to win and others to consider Bristol De Mai & Anibale Fly...Shame I picked Kemboy out of that lot!

                  No?


                  Based on what? Beating Aso in the Ryanair? Or Elegant Escape in the Cotswold Chase?

                  No chance Frodon would have won.... the winner was impressive?

                    I just think he might have been harder on the gas.

                    Agreed, the winner had an extra gear.

                      • Congrats Scooby & fellow Al Boum backers. He done it very well. He had the perfect profile for the race and I’m disappointed I failed to look past his RSA run last year (maybe wasn’t such a tired fall after all).

                        • My early impression would suggest it was just too much effort in the ground for ABP last year, whereas PP relished it. On perfectly fair good to soft ground today he held much less an advantage over ABP. No doubt the prep hasn't helped.

                          I'd say Al Boum was a classy winner of this race but looked to my eye to be reaching the end of the tank with the battle hardened AF closing him down at the line.

                          Very glad to see Mullins to get his hands on this after so many seconds and such a poor week by his standards

                            If you believe Presenting Percy was beaten on purely merit today, and that he ran to form, good luck to you in all your future endeavours, as you need it, because you are clueless.



                            Then again, I've just seen you doubting Racing Post and Sporting Life correctly showed Chacun Pour Soi's last run.... so .....

                            • Shame for archie and backers on Kemboy too. Unsatisfactory to not get to see what he can do, although ultimately much better off than Graham Wylie.


                              Tough game.

                                That wasn’t the real Percy today. Davy was forced into a Lord Windamere esque ride with his sketchy jumping and obvious lack of proper race practice!

                                Echo the sympathies to Archie!
