For what it's worth, the vibes we get are that it would be unlikely that Wendigo will go right-handed again at the top level. The Coral Gold Cup is seen as a possible target next season but he will only run tomorrow if the ground is considered suitable, ie not too quick, after a course walk.

I think Sober Glory TWAF - Arkle at 11/1 is good value. On known form, he's a good 7lb+ better than these. 8 of the previous 11 winners of the Top Novices Hurdle had their previous run in the Supreme, including the previous 4 winners, so unlike some other races, it appears a run at Cheltenham is a positive for this race.

As of 23rd March, the trainer said:

“He’s a massively exciting horse for the future and whatever he does this season is a real bonus. I think going chasing next year is the most likely course, but we don’t need to make that decision at the moment and we’ll enjoy what he’s doing over hurdles at the moment.”

He is saddled with the bet365 curse today though !
