Your argument is pretty poor to be honest as he won almost all of his winnings in France against horses who would do well to win a handicap in the UK. In the UK he’s beat Tazbar and Joe Joe Star and got stuffed when it really matters. Fair enough he was giving a lot of weight to Little Josh who NTD has always rated very highly but the 2nd is no world beater which hardly gives the for the look of a what’s expected to win a King George.

Fist I guess you don’t follow French racing very carefully, or you’d have noticed that Long Run only ever ran in top class races and was the first horse to win both the 3-y-o champion hurdle and then the 4-y-o champion chase. The horse he regualrly beat in his chases ‘Rubi Ball’ just won the Grade 1 by 15 lengths. His French form is absolutely top class. Still got to prove he’s as good over here, but at least understand why he has such a big reputation.
