I think Kemboy will be exposed today. I doubt anybody will be talking about him for the Gold Cup after todays performance.
Delta Work has a great chance. I thought Chriss Dream may turn out to be his main danger here but with that a non runner it now looks like an open goal for Delta. Huge shock if Delta gets beat up there with Leicester City winning the premier league.

You think it's 5000/1 that Delta Works gets beat? How do I go about becoming your bookie?

Wonderful performance from the 12yo to land the grade 1. I think his 3 huge runs this season will be telling come Cheltenham and he will get beat whereever he goes but today is his day. Great training performance from Mullins.

Bubbles burst/Disappointments:
Battleoverdoyen - Travelled well throughout then emptied all of a sudden when the going got tough. 2m 5 was definitely short enough today and couldnt have him at the price but even an extra 3f will that see him in better light? Im not so sure.
Blue Sari - Bubble had kind of already burst but unless theres an underlying issue, BS is just not the same horse as last years 2nd to EA which is quite possible as I think it was something Scooby alluded to with bumper horses not necessarily being as good over an obstacle.
Aspire Tower - Didnt look anywhere near as good as what he did at Christmas, would he have won if he had stood up? Possibly, possibly not but certainly wouldnt have been as good and simple as everyone expected.
Easywork - A fair few people had this horse as possibly Elliots main supreme hope when Abacadabras started drifting last week - he ran a good race but was pretty quickly killed off in a matter of strides against AF. In time it may not be a bad performance we'll see.
Kemboy - Finished a gallant second but most of us expected Mullins to be able to eek out the required improvement to reverse form with Delta work but he looks to have improved on his previous run also. The only worrying thing about Kemboy for me is that his jumping the last twice just isn't good enough. He got into so many fences close and also stepped at one and you simply can't do this in G1 staying chases.
All in all a great festival and cannot wait for Cheltenham now!!
