Albert Bartlett 2019

Lisnagar Oscar continuing to shorten. Think people are clocking on how impressive that was
 
I'm done with this race now.

Defi Bleu 175
Easy Game 50
Lisnagar 25
Allaho 172
COF 66 (any race)

Improving horse , backed it last Saturday on back of Chepstow run

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

amen to that

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.

Can see the argument for LO so added that pre Saturday at 20/1
That’s me done
 
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.
 
Horrible betting race.

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

I actually don't mind having a few to the bow in this one. Always win only, as you're never sure of a place anyways, so can double/triple up

Couldn't agree more with this.

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.

BV please just watch the Chepstow race
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

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
 
Is Dickie Diver not a horse than is just painfully obviously not ready for the Albert Bartlett?

I am going to be annoyed with myself when I inevitably get sucked in, back him, then realise he pulls way to hard and wanders around so won't win :highly_amused:
