Ship I’m struggling to see where you are coming from , you call Alboum and Native River vanilla horses , vanilla horses don’t win 2 gold cups or in Natives case a gold cup, numerous grade 1 and 2,s, Hennessey and a welsh gn off top weight and still even at eleven be one of the best staying chasers in England , champ hasn’t achieved anywhere near that despite being 9
As for believing Alboum is 167 not 175 yet champ can be high 170s …Alboum has delievered the performances for that mark , if we are to believe you then champ will beat Alboum by 10 lengths ….I can’t see that …esp as he will clatter the fences going around , he may win but if he does it won’t be by far
