    Can't see Monalee getting around with how flighty they are. Maybe the run down to the start will chill them out a little. I'd love to see them do well at as I have them each way at 25/1, but the horse does not look happy.

    Paddy to get Kemboy jumping hopefully. Come down the hill with a decent round of jumping I think his class will see him in with a shout.

    Backing AL BOUM PHOTO in the Gold Cup. 7/2 is an excellent price for the horse. Fear Bristol though.

    Get in!!

    I'm not a fan of what Santini and Nico de Boinville did to Monalee after the last. They drifted out to the right, didn't stay their course (which might have even helped the horse) and forced Monalee to trail behind them.

    Wouldn't have been the horse I was going for, even if I'd had five bets to be honest, but that was a great race.

    Really good contest, classy winner.
    Fair play to Paul Townend, the rest is all worth it when you've a day like today.

    Monalee got bit blocked coming round bend, just lacked for tactical speed at that point. Great run nonetheless.

    Even his own trainer said he was "under pressure" before changing it to "well people were saying he was under pressure" I don't see what the big issue is! He gave a few horses not his best rides. Doesn't turn him into a bad jockey overnight! PT even said he didn't ride Al Boum Photo the way he wanted. Some people do get very defensive about the odd negative remark.

    Good posy all the way just couldn't hold position on the inside and then weak as piss in the finish. He'll win it next year!

    That's what I'm saying, he cost himself the race. You'll never know if the touch to correct the horse onto the straight would slow him or whether he'd have picked up on the last few strides running on straight. If that happened there'd be no question for anything behind, but doing what he did asks a question and also throws the trailing horse into question (although I don't think Monalee would have had enough even with a clear run in.)
