Lisnagar Oscar continuing to shorten. Think people are clocking on how impressive that was
Rhinestone and Commander Of Fleet's race has trhe feel of being way better than the race yesterday in my gut.
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

I agree also but from my pocket would like to see Easy Game in the BallyI agree with this.
Horrible betting race.
As it stands I could have five runners in it, which is statistically.....five too many. :sorrow:
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.
I agree with this.
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 :highly_amused: ), 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.
COF 75/1 dbl DRF
Alloha 20/1 Any Race
Dickie Diver 25/1
Can see the argument for LO so added that pre Saturday at 20/1
That’s me done
Or he's just a rapidly improving horse who was only having his second start over hurdles when facing Rockpoint (who has now had 12 starts). No doubt Rockpoint underperformed, but LO simply swatted the field aside.
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.
At the mercy might be a bit strong?
The form with Defi Bleu makes Easy Game (who beat DB 6.5L) more interesting at a bigger price? Defi Bleu was also beaten 54L by CoF at the DRF which doesn't make Derrinross' win over him by 0.75L look standout?
Other bits of his form are good though
Don’t send Easy Game here!
Ballymore please
I think the PP and BFSB prices give that one away myself
Not a horse to be left unbacked imo
