And edwardstone TBF....

[Atlantic Viking]

Plenty to like there from Ferny, battled when asked. Jumped nicely throughout. A solid start that answers a few questions.

That was a good performance imo, could have easily just give in when others came and he didnt jump well early on along with being free enough. Great jumps over the last 3 and hes put it to bed nicely.

What do we think trip wise? Seemed to stay on well at the end to battle back

Yeah. Looked like he may be suited by a step up in trip to me. Probably depends a bit on how comfortable AI looks to 2 miles.

[Altior]

Jumping needs to come on a lot but glad to see the engine and heart is alive and well.

[DenmanSacre]

Nice start after a year absence. Jumped the last well to put it too bed and CS was a 152 rated hurdler, also coming off an absence. Sure there is more to come.

Wouldn't worry about his jumping IMO, i don't think Patrick particularly presents one at a fence greatly, seems to half stand up over them but once he warmed to them when he needed, he was great.

Yep, agree. Marsh will suit and makes sense as he's already beaten Bob. As long as Appreciate It does the biz then Willie will surely split them that way.

[darlojim]

I know he's only an 'amateur' but I've always wondered why Patrick insists on going from being on the bridle to a crack behind the saddle. There's never any winding up of a horse, he goes from 0-100 so quickly. Actually think Ferny has won that easier than it looked in the end because of this, he put the race to bed very quickly after the last.

[Eggs]

….FH a best priced 5-1 for Arkle, a general 8-1 Marsh.

Patrick was just interviewed on Rtv extra, paraphrasing here but when asked about optimum trip he said 2 miles until we have a reason not to, then added the caveat of by westerner, won the Cheltenham bumper etc which would make you think stamina

[Istabraq]

Her and TTL would make the Arkle a proper staying race !

The clock boffins would be scratching their heads at the sectionals...
