In all honestly - it wasn't a particularly strong race - but that was not the agenda . Dropped 5lb from his last run at Newbury - he was given a confidence boost - and a confident ride - by Tom Scu .
Unlike his brother - Geoffrey is mentally a bit fragile - a bit of a worrier.
But on Saturday he showed that he does have class . This time last year he won a better race at Newbury - only to loose that gained confidence at Cheltenham next time . We've been struggling ever since to regain that .
We will see what the handicapper makes of it all on Tuesday when the weights get readjusted . DP got hauled in by the stewards after the race - but we didn't think there was a case to answer .
Geoffrey seems to have been around a long time - but he's only 7 -going on 8 - and we feel there is better to come . CU
PS - Thanks to everyone for all their messages of support and congratulations - always good to receive xx
