I was at Chepstow to see Geraghty flatten the last and still almost manage to win
Dickie Diver different gravy imo

The UK horses beating each other doesn't lend itself to any of them being top class (or even high class) and as a general rule I'd therefore side with the Irish

Have just re-watched the race on Saturday, and whilst it seems like I am making excuses for him, Rockpoint would have hated not leading (and it looks like they knew too, as drifted from 12/1 out to 22's), and hadn't realised David Noonan was on board (was at a wedding all Saturday) and not preferred partner of Tom Scu. Whether this will make one bit of difference come the festival I honestly don't know, but I won't have any excuses should he be put out in front and able to bowl along as he likes doing.
Lisnager Oscar winning is actually good form lines for Rockpoint, as the latter got the better of LO at Cheltenham back in December and I seriously doubt Rockpoint has declined by 20lb's since then. Can't wait for them to race off levels against each other again.Last edited by ComplyOrDie; 18 February 2019, 01:02 PM.

I still think Dinons has a great chance in this. Course and distance form. Will like the ground. Experience (crucial for the AB). GE has confirmed the target. Price seems way too big. His last run can be wholly excused as he was brought to a standstill by a faller in front just as he was making his move. Big chance IMO.

As it stands I could have five runners in it, which is statistically.....five too many.

Re. the Dickie Diver form I don't really know what to take from it because it was 2m3f. There's a lot of unknown to factor into a rematch. If anything it shows DD has a bit more toe than LO

This race looks to be at the mercy of Derrinross to me. Not from one of the more fancied stables and if he was i'm sure this horse would be getting more favourable mentions. Seems overlooked, but to me could easily be good enough on the day.

DD comes to win the race, flattens the last , loses momentum and still gets up to almost to win.
IMO DD is the danger to COF
