2017 Arkle Trophy Chase

Looking at Kim Baileys twitter feed it appears Charbel is going Arkle rather than JLT. Blue across the board.

Still 14/1 NRNB avail with Boyle.... I might go in again, that is the price I am on at from ages ago! definitely not 3 better than him.... 1 is for sure though.
 
Pretty sure we didn't see the real Altior today. One or two good ground horses derailed today but it shouldn't really have been an issue for him. Can only think that massive Newbury performance took more out of him than first thought. Probably best to give him a break.
 
Yeah he didn't look quite right and was being niggled at a few times. Like you say a break is probably due
 
Simonsig's win had something of that about it and he was never the same again.
