I'd be concerned about his handicap mark. He could run well against very good horses without winning, and for the sake of showing he isn't good enough to run in a Gold Cup, we could mess up his chance to win a big handicap. -Philip Hobbs

I've got two or three more four-year-olds to run in the next couple of weeks who could yet become Triumph Hurdle contenders but this horse would definitely be the highest-rated on the Flat.

He doesn't run on Saturday. He might run in the AON Chase or he might go straight for the Gold Cup, I don't know yet.

I was very surprised Fair Along was ever 25-1 because he's got some of the best form against the others. Anyway, we thought he had a squeak but obviously Detroit City was the more fancied of the two. -Philip Hobbs
