I prefer some of Gordons others. I think some are in as 'red herrings' or back ups, should anything happen to his main hopes.

So Mr Fred Rodgers (138) would get in easily provided he qualifies - but it's going to be touch and go with Dunboyne on his current mark (134).
Dunboyne would have made the cut on that mark in the last 3 runnings of the Pertemps - but in the previous 3 years he wouldn't have got a run.
2021: 9 runners rated 134 or below
2020: 3 runners rated 134 or below
2019: 2 runners rated134 or below
2018: lowest runner rated 135
2017: lowest runner rated 137
2016: lowest runner rated 135.
Covid could explain the lower rated horses making the cut in the last 2 years.
Whether it'll have a similar effect this time is anyone's guess.
But Dunboyne could probably do with another 2-3lbs added on so we can all relax - at least until the tapes go up.

Dunboyne is definitely the one most at risk of either not making the cut or potentially blowing his mark if they run again. Gordon has many options so may roll the dice and hope 134 gets a run.

If Winter Fog runs in the Lanzarote and either goes close or wins could that mean at upgrade for Dunboyne's mark?

After getting +10 for Winter Fog, I’m not sure Emmet will risk that mark to win the Lanzarote. He’s currently on a mark that gets him into all his possible races at Cheltenham with a lovely racing weight. My opinion would be that the Festival will take precedence over Kempton.
The other factor could be that Gordon will have so many qualified for the final he might be able to take a few out if he wants one a bit lower down to get in

I'd go with your view Jackie - think I'm clutching at straws.
