Cheers, Marb. It didn't occur to me to check his his new OR compared with other novices as I thought there would be plenty higher than 152 and I wasn't aware of the extra 2lbs he was hit with this week until seeing that article you linked.
I usually check the Weekender for stuff like that but I haven't even read that yet. I've spent most of the last couple of days concentrating on the Betfair Hurdle.
Top novices on RPRs as per the Weekender regular feature:
Shishkin 170
Chatham Street Lad 163
Envoi Allen 162
Royale Pagaille 160
Protektorat 160
Monkfish 160
That's pretty lofty company.
