8lbs higher than Kalashnikov and Al Dancer when they won it. You wouldn't say that its an impossible mark, given that Gumball was rated 153 as top weight last year, he might also not have to carry top weight. If Royal Pagaille can win a competitive handicap off 154 then he would be a massive danger to all in a NH Chase.
