Maybe a better measure is The Storyteller. If you have him running the same in both races you can say that Bellshill and Road To Respect have come on 4 or 5 lengths. That would probably be accounted for by extra fitness for Bellshill and RTR avoiding the slips from the Savills.
Either way, even if he hasn't come on from the Savills, and he is in fine shape at the moment, Kemboy still holds yesterday's duo on the bare form. Cheltenham will be a proper test of jumping and a race to savour even before the Red Mills which should be even more informative than yesterday.

Your lad ticks a lot of boxes Archie.

None of the last 12 winners of the Gold Cup had run within 33 days of the big day. The Red Mills Chase is 27 days before the Gold Cup.
I have another stat though.
Presenting Certainty has a 100% record at Cheltenham from a 24/25 day prep

Boom! That will do it for me. I was already really keen on PP but that stat confirms my selection!

You won't know but that gif is hilariously funny/ironic... (going to after time real life here)...
You may (probably didn't) notice I wasn't on the forum on Saturday, as I had a works conference then award ceremony....
I was up for an award on Saturday (won it), and have won a trip to Marrakech in the process .... All great?
Just like the chappie above, bow tie on, the full works, looking pretty cool even if I say so myself...
As I went up to get the award, I went to 'pop' the fence/stage, but wrapped the top bar!!!! and went flat on my face!
I then rolled around on the floor, got up and bowed and tried to style it out.... thought I had done, but my cummerbund had riden up and was wrapped around my stomach/chest area!!
Legendary status is cemented, for all the wrong reasons
