I want to see him run anywhere, OR have that run around over the fences again like last year... I'm not worried but it is now on my mind. I was worried the day he was a NR last week or so ago, but have calmed down a bit since then

Thanks for the replies! I did see Elliot said he was in good form, but I take all comments by owners/trainers with a pinch of salt from when I got burnt with vautour at the festival a couple of years back!
Liking the positivity on him here tho, I still am a bit concerned, hopefully he’ll be out for a run really soon. CoC is in most of my ante post yankees also so a lot riding on him.Comment

For me it's a case of getting a run into Cause of Causes would be ideal but probably more so for my benefit and peace of mind rather than really helping his chance in the race...
Any run between now and the festival will just be to blow away the cobwebs so to speak and not really take him on for the run. Through the years his campaigning to get his mark down has meant most of runs have been over inadequate trips where he's been asked no questions during the race whatsoever so I would trust Elliott could do enough at home/racecourse gallops to do a similar job and get him there ready on the day.Comment

See CoC has got an entry on the 4th of feb!
Sunday, 04 February 2018 - 4:10
(Early closer) at Leopardstown Chanelle Pharma Handicap Steeplechase (Grade A) (2m5f)
Let’s hope he has a nice spin round. A lot of talk about tiger roll for the X country also. See Ed chamberlain has him as one of his picks for the festival.Comment

I feel pleased and relieved to see that.Originally posted by MTR View Post
Ed Chamberlain's picks for the festival are about as worthwhile as my own

Cause Of Causes currently sitting with zero prep runs and no future entries is a bit of a worry for me, Josies Orders on the other hand has had a Cheltenham Festival prep similar to COC last season, in having 4 races to date, OK, the races he has contested are different, but I am sitting here thinking that the late COC gamble last season will be the same for Josies Orders this season!
I have JO backed, but not as much as COC!Comment

It's the nagging feeling that Tiger Roll will end up as the gamble that worries me!Originally posted by ComplyOrDie View PostComment

CoC is still entered in the last race at Leopardstown on Sunday, no?Originally posted by ComplyOrDie View PostComment

Ah yeah, could well be the case. Still a concern it's only the one run before this years festival.Originally posted by Rhinestone_Cowboy View PostComment

While i'm in heavy on CoC and its niggling in the back of my mind, I think the national would of been a hard race for him so theyre just minding him a bit more this seasonComment

He's a green and gold horse so you can just listen to what Frank Berry says and assume the opposite to be true.Comment
