1st - £45,560.00 2nd - £17,096.00 3rd - £8,560.00 4th - £4,264.00 5th - £2,144.00 6th - £1,072.00
Formscan - Things may not have gone to plan for THE REAL WHACKER following his Brown Advisory success but the eight-year-old has an excellent opportunity to finish the season on a high. The Gold Cup ended up proving a step too far on ground that was probably softer than ideal and a track of this nature should bring out the best in this bold-jumping type. Hitman sports blinkers for the first time and would have every chance based on his runner-up effort in the Denman Chase at Newbury, while a sounder surface is definitely in the favour of Ga Law, who was pulled up in the Ryanair when last seen.

Quotes on Easy Game (FR)
There definitely was greater strength in depth this year than last and it was tight enough on ratings. I jumped into the race probably sooner than I wanted to but I wasn’t disappointing him at that stage, and once he got on top, all I had to do was keep him up to his work. He doesn’t need a lot of encouragement to jump but you can trust him with your life now. It was a different story when he was a novice and was letting fly. You’d put anyone up on him now, he’s a great spin, and a joy to have anything to do with. he loves that ground and credit to the Listowel staff, it’s 25 degrees today and the ground is still safe at this time of the day. They’ve done a lot of work on it.

Quotes on The Real Whacker (IRE)
. He races in a great manner — although he’s in front and he’s doing a lot of the hard work you’re able to get the breathers in everywhere you want. With his jumping he’s always filling himself up, my God it feels like a long way up the run-in!
