Top Rated Irish Chasers

To get an explanation for Mossbank's rating, look at the previous statement about Commanche Court. They have to give Mossbank 170, in order to prop-up Denman's rating.

I also make KK a 170+ animal, but even at his best, I have him miles short of his Timeform high-water-mark of 182.
 
Sound Man an omission from the list if Klairon Davis rating to be believed; unlucky to miss 2 mile chase a few years.
As for Life Of A Lord, any horse that can win a Galway Plate as easily off top weight deserves a high rating; how high i cannot tell.
He was head and shoulders top 3 miler of his time when right.
Commanche Court won Irish National at 6 as a maiden chaser and followed up at Punchestown the following week, a neat trick for a Triumph Hurdle and Austrian Derby winner.
These horses may be over rated but were extremely talented multi taskers.
Kempes another multi tasker that passed away too soon.
Sizing Europe another omission who would put most of these to the sword

Rereading this thread

A few thoughts

It's a shame we have lost some brilliant contributors and some don't post as often

A few of us have been posting for many many years now

The list needs a modern twist with the likes of Vautour, Douvan, Sizing Europe, Flemenstar, Don Cossack
