Djakadam now one to avoid

I don’t think it is any great exaggeration to describe Willie Mullins’ Djakadam as having developed into something of a professional loser.

Perhaps, he is still viewed in some quarters as a possible Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, but he has failed far too often on the big day for my liking to be now regarded as a serious player.

Punters are normally an unforgiving lot, but when it comes to Djakadam many seem to have a real blind spot.
