It's because he looks like an early season juvenile with flat speed and experience that would not be able to go the gallop when the big day comes.
In this particular case, i'd say even more so as he's had 2 fairly steadily run races to aim at.
They used to do not bad, but these days they tend to get beat up by the French breds.
It's unlikely on the new course with so few hurdles in the last mile that they won't get racing early, and this usually finds these types out.
So basically. As De Niro or Depp would say
"Forget about it".

Instead of the Adonis they'd be better off finding him a race with something that will go a decent clip and seeing what they've got. He's still not too high in the handicap for the Boodles.

I agree with this, although have a small amount on him to win last time and at Cheltenham.

If horses like this fella go to the boodles then the race has to go. Am I the only one that wants the triumph hurdle back.

He's got pretty much no chance of going to the Boodles, but if he fails next time out, his handicap mark isn't too high and you can tell they think he's better than a 134 horse.
