Hmmm, jumped significantly out to his right there. I think he lost out mostly there down to experience and fitness but still not a good debut

I only thought he jumped right a couple of times (one of which he was hampered), for a first run back from injury along with first run over fences I was happy enough with the run.
 
Karl der Grosse not priced up but I'd rather back him than Bosses after that.
 
Always the option of going back over Hurdles. Stayers perhaps or shot at Pertempts again. The proverbial TWAR bet.

Yep, finished Infront of Busselton over fences this season . Also Frank's the Gin On Lime form again.

Big fitness advantage for the winner today though and it's all about gaining jumping experience at this stage with regards to these Novice Chasers so we shouldn't give up on TBO at all

Sky left The Bosses Oscar unchanged at 12/1, he doesn’t have the look of a future G2 winner over fences to me, wouldn’t be the greatest shock if Elliott starts plotting a handicap route, will be hard to get the mark down for a Kim Muir but the Ultima may be a possibility…

Much too early to make any conclusion from today. It'll be interesting what Gordon/Davy say.

Clearly was nowhere near race fit. He will come on for that run today.

Busselton winning really enhances last year's juvenile form. Jeff Kidder, Quixilos, Zanahyr. Beat supreme hope state Man in France as well.

Probably best to wait until his 2nd run at least to gauge if improvement.

Irish national hcap plot rather than Cheltenham was my first thought after watching that especially with jumping right.
 
Just watched the race, he did jump to his right slightly but nothing on the scale of Asterion Forlonge.

I’d be happy to let him have another run before dismissing him if the NHC is the goal. The winner had a big fitness edge and 11lbs less to carry.
 
TBO been trained by Sneezy until GE came back a week ago , not sure she has them tuned up the same as Gordon

Come on. You really think that Gordon has been sitting on his hands the last few months?

Sneezy in name only. Gordon wasn’t ejected from the yard, just couldn’t put his name to it.

dunno really , not sure how much involvement he would have had , he got a right scare when it all blew up in his face and he has maybe taken his medicine to the letter , Mrs Foster might well be establishment as well and was put in there precisely so he didn't train from the shadows

they couldn't ban him from the yard because he lives there

They stuck him in a caravan in furthest field away from the stables. Gave him a few months supply of baked beans and a subscription to pornhub.

Given the size of him recently, they must have struggled to get him back :welcoming:
