    That is some horse. Thought for a few seconds he was in trouble and then he breezed through.

    Drifted out to 7/2 on the exchange at the home turn before the turbo boosters kicked in. The Big Getaway went as low as 1/2 at the same point in the race.

    Has absolutely MULLERED it there. I think he's an even better horse than we've seen even though there was half a question mark on the turn - just allowed the front runners a little too much rope hence the slightly shorter distance I think.

    I'm not surprised that he drifted in running. I bet it disappeared pretty quickly though.

    I instinctively do not like Champ as a horse. Urgh. Should've been Minella Indo's! But there you have it. Great race.

    Wow that was impressive from Champ. Went out to over 700/1 in running. Minella Indo beat at 1/20.

    Geraghty winning a bloody handicap. What the hell man.

    Ah well, place for Black Tears, c'est la.

    Black Tears travelled beautifully, thought he had it but fav was far too strong.

    long shots .. kicking the bucket (for all you ska/reggae fans)

    Have had money on all the JP horses so far today. Sporting John let me down but thanks to Champ and Dame De Compagnie.

    Wasn't going to have any on Defi (too short) or Easysland (Tiger Roll) but now I'm tempted.

    Ouch, what's happened there then

    Great images of John Hales there.
    In tears as he watched the finish

    Never seemed to be travelling did Defi Du Seuil! Wasn't jumping cleanly and for Barry to have kept going so wide, something was amiss.

    Altior would have won that without coming off the bridle.

    Agreed - Easysland has me tempted too, JP having a cross country horse trained in France is interesting.

    Recent purchase though so wouldn't read too much into being trained in France. 

    Having said that, I fancy it to win too.

    I always thought today would be the trickiest day of the festival.  Glad I've only played small stakes today

    Very pleased I did get tempted by Easysland
