Trainer Mouse Morris said: "He's fine and seems none the worse, thankfully. He's never done it before, so we're hoping it's a one-off.
"It's a shame as he was going well at home going into the race - he was flying - and on form he'd have been bang there, but that's racing.
"We have the option of going to Naas or Leopardstown, or we could go straight to Cheltenham. We'll talk to the owners and see which way they want to go.
"He'll probably have an entry in the two-and-a-half (JLT Novices' Chase), but the RSA is his race, I'd say."
Nice little Novice Chase at Warwick today involving Champers On Ice, Pobbles Bay, Captain Chaos, American and Mystical Knight.
The head of the RSA market is dominated by the Irish right now and COI is probably the leading UK challenger right now (around 7th in the betting). I'd expect him to take this race especially if the RSA is the aim but it won't be easy with pretty much all the field showing good form and in with a chance today.
Ideally for me a strong staying on run in 2nd/3rd today for COI just lacking the pace of some will mean they switch their attention to the 4miler
Anyone have thoughts where Ballyoisin goes if anywhere ? won over 2 miles today tried 2 miles 5f on chasing debut ? His 3 mile P2P win at Belclare includes Best Mate among previous winners.
Might get into Novices Handicap ?

Yes I think 2m 4f on quicker ground than today would be ideal. He looks a nice prospect.
Townshend was touted as one that would want further in time wasn't he last year? Certainly wasn't near the top of the pecking order anyway.
Bookies had it wrong, plenty thought Ballyosiin should have been fav and got backed in like that was a case from a gambling yard. I wouldn't go overboard. Nice horse, not even on my Cheltenham radar.
