Agree, GM. It took him a while to warm up to the task and he was far from fluent early on. He jumped the four last fences really well and that was when his stamina started to kick in. I think he is more of a 2m5f horse already and it won’t be easy to go the quick early pace in a fast run Arkle.
His talent is admirable, but not his price right now and we’ll have to find out whether the 2m trip at Cheltenham will suit him.
