Would just like to hear peoples opinion on what his chances at cheltenham are now? if he does come up against back in focus again off level weights and on better ground what do you think the outcome would be? As impressive as back in focus was I dont think we saw anywhere near the best of court in motion, just look at the distance between him and neptune equester compared to the last time they ran which was on better ground? Anyway yeah I would just like to see what people are thinkin?

he clearly acted on the ground today whereas others did not and in that ground a big winning distance is the result.....i'd be concerned for this horse with regards to if it has to get into a battle....it was just a feeling i was left with a bit at exeter....he won that race ok but there was a horse half closing him down that day and i just got to wondering if he was enjoying being half shaken up by the jock that day.

just to show i'm not after-timing, but he showed today what i was worried about with him, now he may not have stayed but i would not want to be fancying him get up the cheltenham hill as strong as others.

he just caught a tartar 7lb wil help get closer but court in motion loves heavy ground and the winner might be even better on better ground
yeah i agree with what your saying I just cant help but feel like CIM didnt run even close to how well it did last time out, like i said in my original post look at the distance between neptune equester in this race compared to the distance the race before, if the gap was similar yesterday BIF wouldnt of won. Im probably trying very hard to find justifications cos i have a lot of money on CIM for the alber bartlett and would win a small fortune if he won lol.
Has always looked a bit soft to me - wouldn't fancy at all at Cheltenham
fwiw, Jockey reported that he wasn't himself and they are going to run a couple of tests
dont think he will be winning anything at Chelts I would be holding on to him till Aintree.
Likewise I wouldn't take much notice of Jack Doyle. He wasn't on him during what was his best run the time before anyway.
