After his recent gelding operation, could this be one that we see as a high class recruit to the jumps perhaps this year/next year?

Obviously it's unlikely given that he's high class on the flat, but wondered if anybody had any insight.

I know one of the blokes in the Highclere Pocahontis syndicate - he lives 4 doors up the road.

I was going to ask him the very same question when I see him in the pub - bear in mind he is a point to point man and I see him at Cheltenham every year (he's a member).

Reality is the horse will be sold abroad which is what Highclere tend to do. It needs to win a race or two though now to justify the hype. They did do a jumps synidcate with Sunwise a couple of years back a mate of mine with little racing knowledge  was asked to join it but didn't think the horse would make a hurdler so I put him off it.

It didn't.

What rating was Kribensis and Alderbrook?  Must have been high.

Probably higher than Bonfire will end the season on.
