Like I say maybe I’m missing something, or just losing it altogether, but I’ve warmed to this horse since seeing him split Franchoek and Serabad/Ashkazar over timber at Chepstow (Grade 1) at the end of 2007, when he was so obviously a chaser rather than a hurdler.
He has been tremendous over jumps this season, running to 158 when clobbering Straw Bear at Cheltenham, but to just 141 last time when short-headed despite the race not being run to suit. 5yos have a great record in the Arkle, with the likes of VPU, Well Chief, Flagship U and Champleve winning in recent years and the 5yos get a 5lb allowance. The race should prove right up his street... all the way to his door number.
