I have always been on Team Edwarstone but by heck there's something special about watching a Gary Moore 2 miler take on those fences! He was just phenomenal! Even without his mistake Energumene was beaten.

Editeur De Gite the new Champion Chase favourite?

Was yelling at him to hold on. Nothing against the others but super front running performance. Energumene looked like he was cruising about three out

Yup. Hell of a ride from Niall. Obviously I'm disappointed - for 3/4 of the race it looked like Energumene had it sewn up, and I thought Edwardstone was sketchy early on. The winner was superb.

Energumene certainly looked ready to pick them of coming up the home straight for most of rhe race but just before his blunder, to me, he looked booked for 3rd. Edwardstone was getting very low over quite a few of the fences. He jumped the last few better than the first half of the race. But that's the name of the game. You have to jump to win and EDG most certainly did that!

EdG was quite something today! Exciting horse.

Cracking finish. Well done the team. Lovely second as well.

Derek Fox’s whip must be exhausted after that.

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

When he gets it right he gets it right! He settled after a couple of fences, he jumped far better than ever and he stayed on like a train! Good boy Hank!

 

[Spotherisk]

Lovely to see Ahoy Senior winning today ?

Well done Hank , I was rooting for him all the way , great for your yard elf

Mr Russell would have shouting him home, G&T in one hand, slapping the arm of his chair with the other if he were here to see him. There's not going to be a dry eye in the house for days now.

 

[McGrools]

Well done Elf. That was a fantastic performance from your horse. Loving the racing today xx

Wow. Love Dashel Dasher and good old Paisley Pack but Gold Tweet for France. How impressive. Saw a little video of the horse in his lorry on the Channel Tunnel happily chomping his hay
