Where is Phil Smith's evidence and facts that high weights need an allowance in the National? He hasn't got any and I feel it's just done to enable him to get all the horses in the handicap.
How can Many Clouds only be entitled to only a 5lb rise in the handicap after his win after having 5lb too little winning it? Auroras Encore was put up 14lbs.

Why do the journalists never pursue the matter and get some answers? It's a very important issue that needs some discussion and some facts from Smith.
