8lbs is bang on what my initial calcs suggested he should go up but there's a sting in the tail, I reckon.

If they put the horse away for a year to protect his mark he'd probably be off more than 156. Probably more like 160. Just because it's this race.

In a year's time I could fancy him to follow up off just 156. I can't remember the last time I was as impressed by the way a horse cruised into contention from the Melling Road. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up on the fringe of Gold Cup class.
