That's been a weird trend but can't see any reason for it. I'd just put it down to variance.

Envoi Allen and Samcro all won at the festival again, and Ballyburn should have!🤮

They win again, but the following season seems to be hard for them. Probably varying reasons but knowing what the right trip is seems to big the big issue, that and not taking to fences, because they used to be able to stay at the trip and go for the JLT, but that's now a handicap! If they don't take to fences then there is no mid trip hurdles G1 the following season to go at at the festival.

I still wouldn't be a fan of using it as a trend.

Patrick Mullins has revealed Mighty Park's schooling has been "immaculate" ahead of Saturday's chasing debut at Navan.

Connections will assess the ground conditions for JP McManus's promising five-year-old ahead of the Jimmy & Sheila Owens Irish EBF Beginners Chase, but he has been showing all the right signs in his preparatory work this autumn, according to the assistant trainer.

Mullins, who also provided a positive bulletin on Sunday's bumper ride at Cheltenham's November Meeting, said of Mighty Park: "We're very excited to see him.

Willie is not very worried about what trip it is as long as they they settle and do all that. It's just getting him out really and we think that he's got a pretty high cruising speed. I don't see two miles being a problem to him.

"I do think he's a horse that will go up in trip in time but this has been a lucky race for us. We've had plenty of good horses win it and his schooling has been immaculate."

Regarding the good to yielding ground, Mullins added: "I think we are definitely going to be checking the ground when we get there. It's just the way the weather is, obviously with JP's horses, Frank Berry will have a check and see, but we are probably erring on the side of caution at this at this time of year. So we're declared, we'll go up and and hopefully it'll be okay."

….KRG;

‘He’s a horse I’m really looking forward to this season in novice chases. This time last year I would have said he’d end up being an Arkle horse, but with what he did last season I’d say he’ll be a Brown Advisory horse. He does very good work at home for us. I think he’s a fair horse.’

Or did Willie just say the same thing about both , I'm confused .. 🤪😂😂.

:ROFLMAO: He'd get more shit from me if he runs.
Would make him look a hypocrite for citing safety grounds, and re-enforce the ducking other decent horses narrative.
Won't matter though as he's 1/100 not to run IMO.
