Is he not better than Monkfish? Will surely be rated higher...
Monkfish to the NH Chase and Royal Pagaille to the RSA
What's the NRNB double on that

Thank god Lobos has got the class not to rub it in!
On the plus side my ratings for him were right. They were off the charts (which made me doubt myself), but I think everyone has now seen the same now after that.Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.

It's a tough decision for connections. Fortune favours the bold so I'd go for it but it would surprise me if Ricci went down GC route.

Which is not a bad thing.
But let's hope Vanessa don't run him again in three weeks like Nigel Nob ed did.

Sam brown was a non runner and sams adventure fell
Hes obviously won as easy as you like
But that was an awful race
But maybe I'm just bitter I'm not on at nice prices
Although when they win that well, you never can be sure, but his Gold Cup price now is a bit stingy, which is par for the course for a Saturday winner.
NH backers would hope Venetia sees the race the same way too.

I agree. Waht NTD was doing running BDM again is beyone me.Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.

Put my thoughts up regarding Royale Pagaille yesterday, and the one horse I wanted to see him against today was a NR, not his fault of course and he's battered the opposition today but what did he actually beat? Most of them would be tailed off or PU in a Gold Cup, wouldn't they?

I'm not sure who is "over reacting" like you and FinalFurlong91 are alluding to?

When an unexposed horse wins like that, its hard to knock and hard to know exactly how good he is. I said before the race i had no idea how good he was, i now think hes very good, but still dont know how far he can go. Thats what makes it exciting for me and intriguing.
I hope he has no more runs until March, and runs in the Gold Cup, to keep the intrigue going.
