“Think we’ve just seen the 2027 Arkle winner there.”
Big statement there.
Personally i dont trust the form completely on ground like that, he won rated in the 130s and some of his rivals wanted better ground including the Twiston Davies horse so was the margin of victory exaggerated? Nicholls said they might supplement him in the Champion Hurdle if conditions were similar, if he was top class and speedy they wouldn’t worry about ground conditions and just say yes without hesitation. That doesn’t mean to say he can’t improve though next season but that looked like a staying perfornance than a speedy 2 mile performance to me. Those are my thoughts today, time will tell as to how he progresses and best trip.
