McKelvey was put down after striking a rail/barrier as brock said, not as a result of a fall in the race itself. A very unfortunate incident.
It's the only race I get nervous about watching, and over recent years I cannot look at the TV until they have jumped the first fence. That charge to the first is scary.
Comply Or Die was the horse for me yesterday, he ticked all the right boxes and he could be the sort of horse to come back and win it again next year. He has always been a safe jumper, and as he showed in the eider, he stays very well.
It was between him and Bewley's Berry for me yesterday.
