    Road to Respect ran well. Edwulf too, was actually travelling like a winner four out.

    Winner looks remarkably fresh and perky for a horse thats just been in a war. Wont happen but would love to see him go for the National.

    Great race, glad the best horses came to the fore.

    On better ground I think MB wins.
    On that ground NR wasn't for stopping today.

    Great ride by Dickie, eased off at the right times to leave something for the hill.

    Our Duke, Kiltuagh Vic very poor nowhere near the standard.

    Fawning over Richard Johnson now on ITV. In don't see it. Dodges so many big meetings to run in Egg and Spoon races in Wincantion in July. The De Sousa of jumps racing.

    He has a lot of critics alright, but must say I like Dickie as a jockey well enough myself. I doubt he's ecstatic himself at missing out on some of the top meetings, but he's probably just going where the chance of riding winners happens to be. Amazing there isn't a better job for him in england, but are the horses there right now anyway?

    I think he is a good Jockey, The fawning about being champion jockey I don't get. He rides poor horses in poor races to get his numbers up exactly what de Sousa does on the flat.

    Unioniste has the right sort of credentials here I think. Burning Ambition looks the worst price of the week to me anyway.

    Ridiculous to have a go at Johnson. He rides for a trainer who you wouldn't even have in the top 20 in the UK and Ireland. His string of rides for Cheltenham is so shocking I can't even think of one off the top of my head.

    Tend to agree with Brough Scott there, one of the best Gold Cups that in my living memory anyway. It was epic from a long way out.

    What a great Foxhunters. A wall of horses on the run-in. It was like a 5 furlong race.

    I was thinking she had an unorthodox way of riding a horse. Unbelievable fair f**ks to her

    All in a days work for a jump jock! Different breed, as the late Jimmy McGee might have said.
