RUBY WALSH
Galopin Des Champs received the Paddy Energy Irish Gold Cup on Saturday however do I feel it was his greatest efficiency ever? No, however he acquired a very good trip, a very intelligent trip from Paul Townend as in ‘I’m solely going to do sufficient to win the race’ and that’s precisely what he did. Come March that’ll be a assist as it would in April at Punchestown. All these little issues add up.
Will Truth To File line up within the Cheltenham Gold Cup? Personally, I feel he’ll return down in journey.
There was no excuse in shedding to Galopin Des Champs at Leopardstown on Saturday. He settled higher than he did at Christmas, he jumped higher than he did at Christmas, he was shut sufficient off a gradual sufficient tempo from three out.
However not alone did he not get to Galopin Des Champs, he didn’t even maintain second, he dropped again to complete third. That’s barely underwhelming.
Now I haven’t requested anyone else [at Willie Mullins’ yard], however to me his two greatest performances have been within the John Durkan Memorial Chase at Punchestown final 12 months and, arguably, what he did over 2m 5f to Gaelic Warrior on the Dublin Racing Competition.
Whatever the kind – it was simply the way wherein he did that on the 2m 5f journey. It was successfully a walkover towards Gaelic Warrior, however to the bare eye, he regarded spectacular then.
Cheltenham Gold Cup verdict
Will probably be very laborious for something to beat Galopin Des Champs.
For one thing at slightly little bit of worth or for an curiosity, Corbetts Cross is a robust stayer and shall be working on on the end.
