good alan king stat
King could rule again in Triumph
Aidan O'Brien's Ivanovich Gorbatov is likely to be a warm order in the JCB Triumph Hurdle but Alan King could prove a thorn in his side. The Triumph is a race King loves to target - he's won it twice with Penzance (2005) and Katchit (2007) - and he has an enviably deep squad this season, comprising Sceau Royal, Who Dares Wins and Gibralfaro (left). Since 2000, King's Triumph runners at 14-1 or shorter have finished 1311220F3 (+€9.66), while those at bigger prices finished 55056000.

I've mentioned this a couple times before where I think Leoncavallo is the forgotten horse in this race.
Quote from AC...
“Leoncavallo is interesting as well. He won five times earlier in the season and beat Sceau Royal at Wetherby when I had to make the running on him, which didn’t suit us. Then we were upsides Sceau Royal [at Cheltenham] next time when he unseated me at the last.
“Sceau Royal is 8-1 [for the Triumph Hurdle], we’ve run against each other twice, won one and arguably we might have won the other, and we’re 33-1, which doesn’t really make sense to me when his form ties right in with one of the leading fancies. He must have a solid each-way chance at least.”

Good interview LR. The more you look at the triumph the harder it gets. Maybe a value punt is the answer.
