As for the Denman chase, it was clear to see Geraghty lost the race. Long Run is way overrated and shouldnt be fav for the Gold Cup. Will be on Burton Port if he runs and already got Synchronized big e/w so hope he turns up.
Have a watch of last year's Kim Muir mate.
Travelled, jumped better than anything and won by the biggest distance at the whole festival.
My only criticsm of his jumping is he can be low and fast, rather than with plenty of air. Having said that, the national fences have never been easier.
He cant go through the national fences though. If he goes low at normal ones then he stand no chance at Aintree. Obviously not every National winner was a world class jumper but 95% are. If he does manage to run a place then it will be through his class, not his jumping.
Synchronized is in the National and if he bypasses the Gold Cup for it then i will be on big. Stays all day and is a grade 1 winner. Not many National horses are Grade 1 winners.
