Most people I know seem to share that view, me included. I wonder who actually rates him?

I actually don't mind him in the right situation. Where he is encouraged to grandstand, like yesterday, he is insufferable. His Grade One and Irish knowledge is poor too. But his jockey interviews etc. are quite good and I find him pretty knowledgeable about lower grade UK horses. There's no pretence to him and he's one of the more tolerable of the ITV crowd in my humble opinion.
 
The Were Going Chasing lads have posted their video with Rob Acheson regarding the Robcour horses

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAWrG-16hoo

Main points

Teahupoo - Most likely Robcour winner of the week
Irish Point - Will consider CH following Constitution Hill news
Hidden Valley Lake - won’t go - going to Aintree
Kala Conti - won’t go - Fairyhouse then France
Saint Felicien - Plate most likely but probably others with more in hand
Gerri/Gentlemansgame - Gold Cup with ew chances

He thinks hes some sort of comedy genius but is actually so slow witted it's painful, 'your mum' levels of verbal sparring. Highlight was him digging out others for not putting in proper research, then picking Appreciate It as a CC outsider before it being pointed out to him a few minutes later (nobody else on the panel mentioned it) it'd been all but ruled out the previous day.

Nothing worthwhile from Townsend as you would expect, Skelton put up Master Chewy as his outsider for Arkle?

Just tuning in, anything of note?

As expected townend no idea what he'll ride in supreme or arkle, most interesting thing is listening to skelton talking about con hill, he says there's no chance of him being at his best after working that badly so close to the race

How confident did he sound about Tullyhill? I assume he was asked.

Sounded pretty lukewarm at best on Ile Atlantique.
