He's entered in a beginners chase at Naas tomorrow Zach, and there's a good chance he'll get a run you'd think.
Gordon very possibly could protect his mark with runs in a couple of novice chases and then bring him back with one run over hurdles or straight to the Festival over hurdles. He's got the talent and the mark to be a player if that was the plan.
I have him on my watchlist because of his mark over hurdles, so I was intrigued with his chase entry and how they may exploit the hurdles mark in the future without ruining it with a chase mark that supersedes it. My best guess would be he wont be winning a novice chase even if he runs in them, and they'll go back novice chasing later. If I'm wrong about that I'll strike him off my list because the UK handicapper can use it against him, and Gordon wouldn't take that chance. Essentially he won't be a plot, and he's likely to have a full season chasing. Whatever theories I have I wouldn't be taking a RaB at 12's about him anyway, specifically because you'd get that kind of price with six places on entry when the bookies price the handicaps in Jan/Feb.
