@DO, I don't think RP is that reliable, I remember Matt Chapman also quoted some ORs from them and Phil Smith said it was wrong(I think its because RP takes the OR from either the Irish or British handicappers depending where the horse runs, and they're one OR behind anyways). SB went up before the GN, we can see that from Nicholls horse's that finished 3rd in the Cross Country. Le Duc was kept on 134 for few runs but finished 12 lengths behind him getting 4lb. Its impossible they would've left SB on the same mark for that performance and at the same time leave Le Duc on 134. Also the winner Heads On the Ground next time he raced in GB he ran off 16lbs higher mark.
