I think at championship level when there is a consistent 10-14lb difference between winning performances on different tracks we can be pretty sure of what we are looking at.

The ratings underscore the perception that Desert Orchid, for example, was a markedly better horse at Kempton rather than Cheltenham. Same goes for Kauto - when put under pressure at Cheltenham he struggles to reproduce Kempton form.
