I really cannot see Altior going anywhere bar the Arkle myself. He'll hopefully hack up in the Game Spirit for his final prep but I don't see that having any bearing or adding any persuasion for Nicky to send him to take on Douvan. He could beat older horses by 20+ lengths but that wouldn't really tell us anything about his Champion Chase chances. It comes down to a match bet of whether Henderson would want to / thinks he could beat Douvan.
Injury to Douvan aside it'll be the Arkle for Altior i'm 100% sure
p.s I would be crushed if Altior doesn't go Arkle thoughLast edited by jono; 11 January 2017, 01:21 PM.
