Straw Bear - not sure where the old hurdling master finished in his race but in the previous races he had run over fences he had been appalling. At Cheltenham he stepped up to the plate and looked like a jumper. I look forward to seeing how far he can go over fences next season.

Denman - for a horse that has had such problems his run in the Gold Cup was nothing short of brilliant and for those of us who kept the faith and couldn't resist 7/1 each way it was fantastic.
