Re: Cheltenham 2018
This game is about opinions and to me Buvair D'air still needs to prove himself!!!!, A 100% fully fit Machine that is Faugheen will make him do just that!!!!

The are several sports people who came back after 2 year injury and came back as good as before Alan Shearer for one By the way was not a 2 year injury he raced in 2016

Re: Cheltenham 2018
Legendary if you came up with valid reason Buveur D'Air wont win id listen but you've just made things up. Like him not finding off the bridle, with is just wrong. If he doesn't find off the bridle he won't have won last year. If Buveur D'Air still has to prove himself surely Faugheen has to prove himself after that previous run. You'r just blinkered in terms off Faugheen. I'd backed Faugheen in the past but id much rather back a horse that is proven and still improving.

Re: Cheltenham 2018
Faugheen is finished, may aswell be retired now. As for Buveur D'air if sure him having to make his own running wont have helped. As for yorkhill, theyve ruined the horse.

Re: Cheltenham 2018
He's just not as good as he was and has no chance of beating Buveur D'Air. He's been beat off a 3m stayer which isn't great.

What an exiting Gold Cup today. Massive performance from Edwulf. The Cheltenham Gold Cup is wide open.

Re: Cheltenham 2018
Really annoys me when a trainer tries to find excuses for a horse after they've been beat without any reasons. Bristol De Mai now has a wind problem but suprising that wind didn't affect him when bolting up in the betfair. Its just he's meeting better horses now compared to the start of the season. After the King George, the excuse was he needed softer ground but now he's aimed at the Bowl at Aintree which is most certain to be good ground..
Love how Legendary isn't to be seen after Faugheen haha

Re: Cheltenham 2018
I know what you mean Peter. Bristol De Mai is simply a flat track, heavy ground bully, when he doesn't get those conditions, he's exposed as just a handicapper. Connections making excuses for him doesn't change this fact. As for Legendary, he's posted a few things on here before that he's been completely wrong about. My advice is whatever he says, do the exact opposite!
