🚨 UPDATE 🚨
Nicky Henderson told the Racing Post: "The handicapper is saying what happened, and that is that he's run a hell of a race. It shows how much they rate the performance.
"It probably eliminates handicaps for us, I'd imagine. We'll have a good look at the options, but it'll be in races between a mile and a half and a mile and six. We'd also like to go back on turf with him.
"We knew he'd go up in the ratings, but my initial reaction is that he'd go up 3lb or 4lb. In most of those handicaps, a mark of 105 is the highest. He can run in one, but it's going to be mighty competitive with where he's gone now.
"He's come out of the race fantastic and he's in great form. We think he'll come on quite a lot in reflection, and I think going back on turf will help. It's all systems go. The dream is still very much alive and we're going to crack on."

A Harvard professor asked 1 question 4 different ways - and got 4 contradicting answers
His name is Michael Sandel. He teaches Justice. He opens the entire course with a hypothetical that takes 30 seconds to state and takes the rest of the hour to unravel.
His entire framework fits on a napkin.
You're driving a trolley. The brakes fail. 5 workers are on the track ahead. A side track has 1 worker. You can steer.
Ask a room of students what they'd do, and the vast majority say the same thing: turn. Better 1 dies than 5.
Here is where it falls apart.
Change nothing about the math. Change only the mechanism. Now you're standing on a bridge, watching the same runaway trolley bear down on the same 5 workers. Next to you stands a heavy man. Push him off the bridge, his body stops the trolley, 5 live and 1 dies - the exact same trade as before.
Almost nobody pushes him.
Same numbers. Same outcome. Completely different answer.
Sandel doesn't tell the room they're wrong. He asks them to explain the difference, and the room can't agree on one. 1 student argues the fat man never chose to be involved, unlike the worker already standing on the side track - except the worker never chose it either. Another argues that steering a wheel is a "split-second" reaction while pushing a man is deliberate murder - except both require an active, conscious decision to kill 1 person you weren't otherwise going to kill.
Every explanation the room offers gets challenged by another student within seconds.
Then Sandel tightens the trap further. You're an ER doctor. 5 patients need moderate care, 1 needs intensive care, you can't save all 6. Nearly everyone chooses the 5 - consistent with the trolley.
Then: you're a transplant surgeon. 5 patients need 5 different organs. A healthy stranger naps in the next room. You could harvest his organs and save all 5.
Almost nobody says yes.
Same math, every single time. 1 life against 5. The answer keeps flipping, and the room keeps struggling to explain why.
Sandel closes the lecture with a real case from 1884 - the shipwreck of the Mignonette. 4 sailors adrift with no food or water. After 19 days, the captain killed the weakest of them, a 17-year-old crew member, so the other 3 could survive by eating his body. All 3 survivors were rescued. 2 of them stood trial for murder back in England.
The room splits immediately. Does it matter that the boy had no family waiting, while the others had wives and children? Is killing 1 to save 3 different in a lifeboat than on a bridge? Is murder wrong regardless of the outcome it produces, or only wrong when the math doesn't justify it?
Here is what the lecture is really about. Sandel isn't teaching students the right answer to any of these cases. He's showing them that their own moral intuitions contradict each other within the same hour, under questioning they can't escape - and that noticing the contradiction is the actual beginning of moral philosophy.
He teaches this to students who will spend careers making decisions that quietly involve this exact tradeoff - policy, medicine, law, business. Half of them will never examine the framework they're using. The other half will remember the moment their own logic broke in front of a room of strangers.
The lecture is free. Harvard has taught it publicly for decades. The barrier was never access.
The barrier is sitting with the contradiction long enough to admit you don't actually have a consistent principle - you have a set of feelings that change depending on how the question is asked.
The napkin costs nothing. Realizing your moral intuitions contradict each other is the entire edge.
