What evidence is there for regression, sunybay - or even battles, for that matter?

Even if he had stood-up at Haydock in 2008, he was going to run many lbs below his best, and then he went on to pulverse them in the King George. Isn't it clear from his first two BF Chases compared to his last two, that he is unsuited by the new chase track, as pointed out elsewhere by SL?

I also think suggesting he was below form at Cheltenham is a very hard argument to make. I'd certainly take a fair bit of persuading!
