If this horse is gonna be rated circa 150-155 in the UK (agree with your logic by the way on his mark) then why oh why don’t they run him in the G1 at Sandown tomorrow. It’s got 5 runners, 3 of them rated in the mid 130s FFS. The winning prize is ?45,500. Run bad & fair argument to drop that mark. Win & as big a pot as this 20+ festival handicap.
I just do not get race planning at the moment. Surely this horses golden hcap chance was last yr in the Pipe when he was unluckily brought down. But he’d have ended up bumping into GDC anyway!
Just my opinion but I’d be staggered if he ran in this tbh

It does however show the lack of decent novice chasers this year in Britain at the mid trip.

I've watched Saturday's 2 1/2 mile G3 a few times now, taking a second look at Torn and Frayed and also of course Galahad Quest. Another one I took from the race though is Coole Cody. I thought the ride after they turned for home was not very well disguised and the result was clearly designed to drop a pound or two ahead of (I presume) coming back for this race in March. Mission accomplished in that respect and now only two pounds above his previous winning mark, the 33s on offer is, I think, fair. 25s NRNB (but I can't get on with Hills) and I think next best with that concession is 16s, so the AP price appeals more to me.

I could make a case for him ER given his form but the cynic in me says there will be far less exposed horses, I've thought for a while that there are so many Irish mid distance/staying novice chasers and there can be only one winner of the Turners and BANC, re-routing one or two here isn't impossible and if that happens Coole Cody like many before him will just get unlucky.
I can see myself getting involved on the day when 6 places likely to be freely available...
