Andy Holding very keen on Champion Green for this. Strong flat form in maidens, similar profile to Sir Erec for connections. Joseph mentioned he’s going hurdling so price could fall once entered.

Sir erec was a 109 rated flat horse who only got beat 2 lengths by strad at ascot on champions day
champion Green about 20lbs worse than him on the flat
That was my immediate thought.
I think it's the JP Mcmanus ex flat horses with Joseph link he's relating to.
Like Gardens of Babylon, Ivanovich Gorbatov & sir erec. Probably some others that weren't so good
Joseph trains, JP owns, strong form on flat taking to hurdling. Appreciate that there’s probably loads with that profile but wanted to share the view for you to consider

Yep.
It was the just mentioning Sir Erec bit that did it, as his flat form was obviously very different.

Indeed it is never a given for the flat rating to translate over jumps. The one that springs to mind for me is Housesofparliament who was third in the Leger and finished his flat career rated 113. He was bang average as a juvenile hurdler and I've just checked that he signed off in 2018 winning a handicap hurdle over 3m off a lowly 130.
Seems to have regressed massively since 2 or 3 years ago for whatever reason, big shame
Less interested in the game, probably meaning owners aren't arsed sending him decent ammo. Doesn't make sense for an owner to send a horse to him really.
AlL these entries are just too much for me........I need a lie down!
We get this every year.
Hardly any will be declared.
Not sure why Gordon enters so many to be fair.
In one of the bumpers he's entered 5.
He's definitely picking up prize money whilst Willie is still sleeping but some of the entries like American Mike and Fil Dor seem superfluous.
