Arkle/Marsh/RSA/NH Chase - Novice Chasers 2021 (new)

He is just ridiculous, an absolute monster. Ok hes not beaten much but that will be the same in March.
The field could well be
Envoi
Chantry - unless he steps up
Energumene
Proetekterat
and 2 or 3 rags to make up the numbers. Cant seen any more than 8 showing, unless 1 or 2 of the ones who are more Arkle types step up.

Only thing that can get him beat is the Racing Blogger's cursed blink like he put on Douvan.
He's some yoke, cannot wait to see him over 3m in the future. I do agree though, he'd want to be like Kauto for that with the speed he has. Who's to say he isn't of that calibre one day, he does everything you want and his agility and speed for such a tank is class. Jack Kennedy rarely beams like that after a race, Samcro in his novice hurdle year he did it a few times.

You just can't pick holes.
He's blown the Samcro hype train that we were all aboard out of the water. ****Why would a train be in the water?***
I got in to racing when Kauto Star was already at the top... this seems to be the first genuine super star over jumps since then?
Samcro was on the right path for a while, maybe Douvan too?
This horse is just special. Even if his jumping was below average, I still think he'd win Grade 1's, the speed he covers the ground looks effortless between fences.
Today's race was a non-event really as they skipped loads of fences too, but it's impossible to pick a hole in him?

Totally agree Ista, was more highlighting to the fact that although frustrating you just have to enjoy EA
Imagine Envoi Allen cruising round in second gear and beating a 140 rated horse 4 lengths, every chance that horse gets clobbered 8/10lb that stops him from winning a race for a year.
And of course when you're as good at EA you will naturally scare off a good few too...
