The paddy power has always been a strong trends race .....
My trends ...
19/20 aged 6 to 9 coole passed
18/20 won at chelt previously coole won over hurdles
Pref below 11st 2lb coole was 10st 2lb
Only reason I didn't back was I just didn't think he was good enough based on recent form ..he had to improve ....obviously the 10st 2lb helped him a lot on the ground receiving so much weight from the others....it happens....but he was definately on the shortlist after the trends chaff cutting ......I was gonna back him purely because he had passed trends and was top of time form ratings but was going to never did ......still I was happy with 3rd in such a hard race ?
Oh ....I think he passed another trend 16/20 .....a previous winner at over 2m4f plus .....albeit hurdles (2m5f) so he was very much a trend horse ....like I said he had got to improve a lot .....but he did ....that's just life
