Cheltenham losers to follow

Not very original but for me it would have to be Pic D'orhy...he looked rather underdone in the paddock to me. But loved the look of him...lovely athletic stride. Of all the triumph horses he would definitely be the one I would want on my side going forward...as I feel once they have had a full season with him at PFN's he could be special.
 
Allaho and salsaretta both travelled strongly but neither of them settled off a slow pace in the ab (allaho prob the main one to take as he still placed and is inexperienced)

Canardier ran very well despite not getting his ground
 
Allaho for next years rsa I feel could be a great bet
 
Thinks with the way the weather has been/Mullins not sending his best out and the injurys some of his good ones were meant to have Mullins bingo will be even worse next season and we have the new intake as well

I'd nominate Thomas Darby. Unfortunately, the ground went against him on Tuesday but he still performed brilliantly. Providing the race hasn't taken too much out of him, I'd be hopeful of a big performance at Aintree over 2.5 miles.

Thomas Derby reported back Lame on his right Fore and Itchy feet bled form the nose, both had hard races .Obvs not blaming jockeys as both entitled to and getting 2/3rd in a supreme is a huge effort , can't help but feel both could take some time to be recover.

On twitter this morning Olly said TD defo is done for the season but small chance Itchy feet goes Aintree, Both go chasing next season thou !
 
....fell at the first and jumping is the name of the game but Mullins clearly thinks a lot of Kemboy and he could still be a bit special.

Thanks Outlaw.
 
Two for next year, Buveur D'Air never made it past halfway this time but there was immense confidence behind him, next year he is unlikely to have Apples Jade or Laurina to take on so you have to assume the 2020 renewal will be weaker.

Blue Sari also stood out for me, was off the bridle a long way out but battled all the way to the line and gave Envoi Allen a real fight. Only 4 and will have learnt plenty from the experience he looks a talent for next years top novice hurdles, probably targeting the Ballymore....
 
Looking forward to seeing Mengli Khan being sent a little further.
 
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.
 
Didnt know Thomas Darby had finished lame.

Presenting Percy and Blue Sari were also lame post race.
 
At first glance (will spend a lot longer some night going through this)

Sam's Profile- a bad jump cost him finishing closer
Bright Forecast- doesn't need much explaining
Canardier- ground against him + ran a stormer
Cracking Smart- probably needs a fence, but that run was decent, travelled too well like a lot of giggys and hit the front far too early.
Vintage Clouds
 
The few i took out from cheltenham were Bapaume, Cartwright, Marracudja, Mengli Khan & Thyme Hill.
 
Champ - should chasing help him to settle, he should be very competitive stepped up in trip again.

Delta Work - probably the least favoured with the run of the race in the last half mile (first to commit, bit squeezed jumping last, intimidated a little maybe, and then switched) he's a year younger than the other two and a little smaller, but double the prices at the minute.

Dallas Des Pictons & Commander of Fleet & Vision D'honneur & Battleoverdoyen - are all clearly chasers and will only improve for a fence.
One or two of these Will make Samcro look like an also ran.

Tend to agree , Re D.D.P , and C.O.F , Quevega . I'm a Bit Luke warm on Samcro at the moment,
They SHOULD have gone chasing this year . i.m.o . , Obviously the Lung infection didn't help.
 
I very rarely bet in handicaps but being as there was late money for Cartwright in the Martin Pipe I noted the starter did him no favours from the standing start and in the circumstances he ran a massive race in my view.
 
Brewin’upastorm confirmed as chasing next year
