            I'll go through and pick out some of my quotes disregarding CoC for the 2017 version to give us a laugh?

            Before I do though, I was mad keen on Josies Orders before he got ruled out and a positive word on him would certainly give all of us CoC backers at least a few moments of consideration? Adds a different threat and one that I'd worry ascot more than any 'newcomers'!

                The fact Nina is back riding and would likely be onboard would be another plus for Josies Orders, no better around the course. JO was my best bet of the festival before he got injured last year. He has a touch task ahead of him but it would be foolish to write him off...

                      Has Mullins got anything of note for race guys? Not a favourite race of mine , guess from punting viewpoint its proving popular.

                        I daren't go back and read my comments about him as I'd also wrote him off. I was blinkered having punted him fairly heavily for the Ultima Handicap Chase on day one

                          Auvergnant is only 2 years younger than CoC, do you believe there is a 10 length improvement?

                            Take a bigger man to admit they were wrong I think my main issue was the fact he was a previous festival winner is irrelevant due to it being a completely different course ... in hindsight: The Hill is THE HILL and based on the Kim Muir and CD alone it is impossible to think he doesn't own that home straight!

                            Auvergnat at 16s looks a lovely each way shot and I know ista its keen which warrants enough respect for me to take note, however I don't see a 10L swing, especially as a betting prospect when COC has been 9s to 16s

                            As CoC contracts, other horses will become more appealing... but that's staying the obvious

                              I think there's much improvement in the horse, just 4 banks runs and only getting the soft ground he needs once in those runs.
                              Ran a belter on debut, would have gone close on Trials Day then winning the PP Hogan, he never ran his race at the Festival when ground was seriously quick, the watering can will come out if needed this season and ground will be more akin to staying chasers....
