There’s a reason the field is so bad. It’s because trainers don’t want to race against Galopin as he’s THAT good and so his 3rd Gold Cup shouldn’t be down played.
No L’homme presse in the gold cup 😂 some mess they’ve made of him this year. Feel abit for Galopin in a sense that his 3rd gold cup is going to be underpinned by it being achieved in the worst gold cup field ever
Constitution Hill’s supreme was a proper gallop at 3:44 and hence faster than any Champion Hurdle ever run.
Amazing how often people try and pick holes in him that aren’t there.
🌟 Harry Swan on BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD, per @FinalFlightPod:
"I think she'd have a serious chance in a Champion Hurdle. I just think the way she won the last day, to go that quick and to stay at it, I'd love to see Constitution Hill go that gallop and make it a proper true test just to see how he goes. I know he's had tests before but he's never gone hell to leather in a proper Champion Hurdle.
"If you watch Istabraq's Champion Hurdles, there's 30 lengths between first and last and they're going flat to the mat. I'd love to see Constitution Hill under that pressure and to see what he can do under it but the mare, I just thought the way she did it the last day was very impressive. I think she'd give him a run for his money anyway.
"She's too good to go for the Mares Hurdle. I know they went for the Champion Hurdle before with Apple's Jade and they were disappointed but I think this mare is different. I think she's more special than Apple's Jade and they have to give it a go, you know. I think they do anyway, I think she'll run in the Champion Hurdle."

The fact Handstands isn’t going to the browns is a travesty, Jango Baie, who he beat on Sat and I think would beat by further over 3 miles, is 4th fav for the Cheltenham race and Ballyburn whilst good was not unbelievable. Handstands could seriously win if he went.
✅️ Ben Pauling says HANDSTANDS will go straight to Aintree after his Scilly Isles success, per @RacingPost.
"He's bounced out of Saturday – you wouldn't know he's had a race. I don't think we'll consider Cheltenham, we didn't enter him for a reason."
This year myself and my good friend Will, will be doing a 10 hour darts challenge raising money for Movember and the 10 million globally facing life with a prostate cancer diagnosis.
Any donations would be greatly appreciated.
