Compares favourably to recent MNH winners.
You Wear It Well 106
Love Envoi 115
Telmesomethinggirl 114
Concertista came second in the MNH on debut, given 138. Then clocked 124 next time out.
Eglantine Du Seuil 118
Even reducing by the 8lb for the horse in 4th to have ran to form (which I'd question in itself, but could accept as a benchmark), it compares really nicely with Love Envoi and TMSG though so hopefully a positive sign for all you backers

It’s only taken me 7 1/2 months to reply - sorry about that, and for my general lack of engagement over the last couple of years.
Having become disenchanted with restrictions and account issues I decided to take some time out from the ante post game - also moved house, work went through a crazy spell etc, you know how it is. My ‘sabbatical’ has lasted much longer than I anticipated and I’m now at crunch time in deciding whether to make a proper go of it again for 2024.
Anyway, I’m thrilled to see this place is still thriving and I hope you’re all behaving yourselves. Even if I don’t get properly stuck in again this year I will make more effort to show my face around here more than once every 7 1/2 months… I do kinda miss you all!
Cheers
