Scooby mention Pic on triumph thread.

Lost in translation ran a cracker and my idea of next years Gold Cup winner at this stage.

Dickie Diver another one who added to his reputation in defeat imo.

Dickie Diver was enormous, couldn't get over the size of him.
 
Cartwright was eye catching in the Martin Pipe. He lost a load of ground at the start and ran on strongly.
 
Aramon back on good ground will be one to follow for sure

Also surely Winter Escape one to follow when back from injury? Put A Plus Tard away with the minimum of fuss carrying a stone more

Stand Up And Fight was just schooled round for experience. Would of learnt plenty for the coming seasons...

Got to agree with Lostintranslation, he put in a brilliant display of jumping in what was one of the best races of the week, I was thinking he might be ideal for Kempton, speedy frontrunner and should see out 3m well.
 
The RSA i'm convinced will be looked back upon as one of the best ever and one for the ages. Any of the top 3 could go on to win next years Gold Cup and will be what I build next years GC around, it'll take a lot to make me look elsewhere. 3 Absolute monsters who served up a treat.

Mister Malarky was beaten 16 lengths in 4th but based on the level of the top 3 that was a fine run in itself and I can easily see MM following the same path as Native River and Elegant Escape as a 6 year old who goes onto target the likes of the Ladbroke / Welsh National etc
 
Felix Desjy , traveled superbly before fading quicker than the Annimix hype . Just not sure wether he lacks the turn of foot for the minimum trip and prefers cruising in smaller fields .

I’m glad someone else agrees.... wasn’t there to win and surely the stewards should have had dereck in?! Disgraceful

Same with a Codd and Ucello Conti, think they were both laughing together as they came up the run in
 
Stand up and fight is 7 so see the angle.

Ucello Conti is 11 can’t be many more days.

I wonder how he could fare in a traditional Arkle. Small field, could be a usual Giggy improver over fences.

RUK did an Enda Bloger feature a couple of weeks ago and the main thing I took out of it was that he said SUAF was only 7 and anything he did this year would help for future festivals. At that point I felt he wasn't there to be, let's say, ridden aggressively.
 
Fakir is one for me , hit a flat spot then rallied and flew the last furlong. Needs fences (possibly) and a longer trip.

I like the Idea of Lost in Translation for the Gold cup O.V , Sounded to me , like Colin tizzard,
really wanted to run him in the r.s.a this year, But has high hopes for the future .
 
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.
 
Agree on Mister Malarky, has the Hennessy written all over him imo.

One for Aintree I’d say
 
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.
