Is he moving to Elliots because weight issues?
Or is there something wrong with him that he would prefer NH to flat racing?

It was said the other day on Racing UK that it was because of
his weight.

weight was always going to be an issue , hence the reason they didnt mind him riding out his claim so quickly.

Flat weights have gone up gradually over the years and still don't make much sense to me. I can see why 2yos should not be asked to carry heavy weights but how can a 4yo hurdler be asked to carry 11.12 over 2 miles over hurdles while a 6yo carries just 9.9 in the King George over 12 furlongs?
