MN was much the better jumper of Hurdles than FV. Connections have commented several times re FV jumping and how they hope he'll treat fences with a bit more respect. MN however has schooled over fences very well according to his trainer so you would say he has a head start there. Be interesting to see how long the two trainers can keep those two away from each other in order not to burst the bubble too early in the season.

He is a good, strong, solid stayer and I'm convinced that he will jump well.”

TOTG was in the 2m3f in December (seems to have changed to 3m now too) rather than the 3m on Haldon Gold Cup day.
His runners in the November 3m in the last five years have been:
2022 - Flash Collonges (2nd)
2021 - Threeunderthrufive (1st)
2020 - Enrilo (1st)
2019 - no runner
2018 - Coup De Pinceau (1st)
A bit of a mixed bag, really (at best).
If he's going there, I'd be looking at rearranged G2 Francome at Sandown, then Warwick for the G2 Hampton and then Cheltenham. He's mentioned the Kauto Star for him, but I'd be surprised if he wasn't beaten there - he doesn't strike me as a future King George horse at all.
The revised calendar still looks to be a bit of a mess post Xmas - the Reynoldstown is your only real option after the Kauto Star and that is typically a brutal race.

So where does champ kiely sit in willies plans? I’ve always thought of him as a BANC of turners horse. Not so sure about him for NH chase this season. Would be more interested in him next season if he remained a novice. So with IEP going churdle and Gaelic warrior possibly stayers, then champ must be right up there.
