If HTN is half as good as Aidan thinks he is this should be a procession. In fact on what he’s shown so far it probably will be anyway.
HTN is good and should win, however it’s best to ignore the prestige in which Aidan holds him as most TRF forumites are now fully aware of AoB’s ability to ‘big up’ every horse that wins a good race these days – often claimig it to be "amongst he best I’ve had"
