They are the two of the three I have in the book. The (now 4th) is Vinndication
I fear the Kalashnikov will be Arkle bound now, but the others won't be dropping back in trip I wouldn't have thought!
I watched 'This Racing Life' earlier on RUK and Amy Murphy said that Kalashnikov will start over 2 miles but if Jack says he needs further after any of his races then he'll be stepped up in trip, or words to that effect.
I agree though, the Arkle has to be favourite as a festival target

I feel Kalashnikov is Arkle bound baring one or two underwhelming performances over 2m in the winter. Vindication is one I’m keeping a close eye on too. JLT type maybe.
Thanks Sean. I had it in my head he picked up an injury. I agree with you and Kev, he is very interesting and skipping the spring festivals with a talented novice hurdler is worth noting.

Agreed he’s probably had plenty of schooling over the bigger obstacles during the summer and the trainer previously seeing him as weak & immature whilst going unbeaten is definitely noteworthy. Beating the battle hardened Western Ryder 3 1/4 lengths is very decent form.
Would prefer Kilbricken Storm to head to the 4 miler myself!
So to answer your question, Black Op & Topofthegame.
Can you see Kilbricken Storm going for the 4 miler though? He's won an Albert Bartlett over 3m, and Tizzard decided to send Elegant Escape who looked much more suited to the 4 miler for the RSA and came away with a decent 3rd place.
It'd enough to put me off selecting him in a yankee though to be honest, as there is some doubt!
