He was awarded the 160 for his run in the Lexus and or the Aintree race where he beat Wishfull Thinking.https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30411763/what-will-handicapper-put-----?post_id=542982891#542982891The Racing Post Handicapper had a master rating of 160 for Unioniste and has upped him 1 to 161.

No what they are saying he was training in public in the Hennessy, using the race to put him spot on fitness wise and with the added help of lowering his mark.

My wallet is talking as I had a cheeky £5 at 900/1 for the Gold Cup before Christmas!!https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30411763/what-will-handicapper-put-----?post_id=542977909#542977909I'm glad Unioniste went up 11!

I'm sure he improved a lot but 19lb?? I would put up the hennessy ratings by 3lb and bring down the Sandown run by 4. I can't see how they thinhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30411763/what-will-handicapper-put-----?post_id=542975779#542975779I don't see how RPR can justify rating Unioniste as high as 161 after only giving him 142 in the hennessy.

Bertie Boru ran a solid race, ran to his mark.https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30411763/what-will-handicapper-put-----?post_id=542975467#542975467He deserved to go up 10lbs no doubt, don't get what people are fussing over.

Given that the national is usually set by the same handicapper, but with a different hat on, it looks ominous for the horse when the weights are out, unless something like On His Owhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30411763/what-will-handicapper-put-----?post_id=542966789#542966789My own assessment of the race is a mile off that of the handicapper.

Hopefully given the record of 7 year olds in the race previous and to encourage more top class horses in to the race they will be a bit more lenient because he clearly doesn't deserve to go uphttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30411763/what-will-handicapper-put-----?post_id=542964909#542964909The national handicapper does have some leeway at least.

Unioniste had to be put up 10lbs for his win, he was almost G1 class in a handicap.https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30411763/what-will-handicapper-put-----?post_id=542963045#542963045No but they do put pressure on them by constantly commenting on the marks given over and over.
