Another example is Altior's rating. Only as high as it is because he raced in open company.
They weren't under rated against other novices, they earned their rating. There would be a massive trend of novices winning open handicaps if the handicapper automatically gave them 10lbs less than what he thought in a Novice hurdle. There isn't and he doesn't.

This result, on good ground at Cheltenham ....lis Pingshou over priced at 50/1? 1/4 the odds.
Plenty have talked up the 2nd (William Henry) needing good ground to show his best, which he had here, and he is a lovely outsider in the Neptune. (12s in places!)
I am sure I've read/heard someone tip this horse up recently too which I'd like to read/listen to again. It looks a very open supreme and if good ground is what this horse needs, he may outrun 50/1 odds?
