No they can't. The Shunter gets a 5lb penalty over hurdles, his chase mark remains unchanged.

Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get. -
With the B365 cash out back it would seem likely they've been given the nod that the Gigginstown horses will be running.
Gordon given a fair punishment but will return ready for the 2021/22.
It seems the main potential losers are the Cheveley Park horses uprooted just before the festival. Of course, they may all run just fine but (if you've backed them) you'd rather they were still with Gordon than dealing with new surroundings and routines.Comment

Hills had The Shunter 12-1 (just over 13s with a boost) this morning TWAR. Trimmed to 7s now. On an unrelated note disappointing to see that Unibet are still offering 16s on Davy Russell to be top jockey. You would like to think they would refund anyone who backed him after the announcement that he was going to miss out, but even if they do it's poor that the bet is still there over a fortnight after he confirmed he would miss out.

Noel and Valerie Moran have told the Racing Post their 20-strong team at Cullentra House will remain at the yard in the care of Denise 'Sneezy' Foster.
That is good news for supporters of JCB Triumph Hurdle favourite Zanahiyr who is set to run under Foster's name at the Cheltenham Festival on Friday week. The Morans are also responsible for leading Pertemps Final fancy The Bosses Oscar and they have nine entries in total at the festival.
Noel Moran said: "After a very difficult week for the team at Cullentra House, and now that the investigation is concluded, we would like to confirm all 20 of the horses we have in training with Gordon will remain at Cullentra House.
"Ever since we started working with Gordon our horses have received top-class care from all the dedicated staff at Cullentra. They get the most professional care imaginable and I have long been amazed at the love and attention all the staff show to these horses.

"Some of the messages we received during the week from the caring and committed stable staff at Cullentra would make a grown man cry. The love they have for the horses came across loud and clear and sometimes that goes unnoticed by us owners. We look forward to having many more winners with the team at Cullentra and we wish them all the best at Cheltenham next week."
As expected, the Gigginstown House Stud horses will also remain at Cullentra House. Racing manager Eddie O'Leary said: "It's great to have a bit of certainty going forward, for us and for all the owners. It stabilises the ship. I speak for Gigginstown, and I would imagine all the owners here, in wishing Sneezy the very best of luck and I hope she has a fantastic Cheltenham."
Philip Reynolds, the owner of 2018 RSA Chase winner and leading Grand National fancy Presenting Percy, is also happy for Foster to train his team.
Reynolds said: "I commend the referrals committee on what I believe is a fair and balanced finding. I'm pleased Gordon has accepted it and I welcome the statement he released afterwards.
"Here's hoping we can all put this saga behind us and look forward to happier days on the track. I've no doubt Denise will do a great job, her own motto of 'Heart at home and use your head' will serve her well over the next period. I wish her every success & offer her my full support."

I’d not seen this so thanks for posting. Been on my mind probably more than it should have been all week (first world problems I know) the handicapper looks to have been uncharacteristically lenient on some of theirs this year, so it’s great to hear them almost all but confirm their participation. Hon Mick O’Leary, hope he’s rewarded with plenty of winnersOriginally posted by charlie View PostComment
