Blue Lord settled well there. I can see him going up in trip now as last year he would have been pulling the jockeys arms off going that pace.

Only saw the last couple of furlongs of the Blue Lord race, looked like he couldn't possibly have done it any easier, but does anyone know how many fences were omitted? Not that it looks like it'd have made much difference!Comment

Literally the opposite of how I saw it. He's just shown how much speed he has. Arkle has to be the target surely.Originally posted by DenmanSacre View Post
The only reason it wouldn't be would be Mullins trying to split him and FH up. But it'd be the wrong call imoLast edited by Benjy23; 2 January 2022, 01:09 PM.Comment

Yep, he’s a bit of a nutter…… in a nice way!!Originally posted by Rooster Booster View PostFolks don’t forget this is also a possible target for For Pleasure and he only has one way and they have said he will not be restrained. If anything is close to him early and not settling they are going to have to be some horse to get home (which of course FH could well be
)
Another reason to think Edwardstone will have the perfect set up.Comment

Given how well he jumped the ommited fences were against him if anythingOriginally posted by Atlantic Viking View Post
I hope he runs against ferny in the Irish arkleComment

How I saw it too, looks a natural 2 miler to me.Originally posted by Benjy23 View Post
Bromley will have his say hopefully if trainer tries to split him and FH.Comment

I saw it the same. Think he'll give Ferny Hollow fits as well.Originally posted by Benjy23 View PostComment

If he was mine, he would go the Arkle. But he showed he could settle today behind the pace and Willie may see him as his best chance against Bob with Ferny and Haut En Couleurs in the Arkle.Originally posted by Benjy23 View Post

Blue Lord looks a proper arkle horse. I think a clash at DRF looks probable.Comment

Live how opinions differ! HEC is made for the JLT for me.Originally posted by DenmanSacre View PostComment

Blue Lord won as he liked, I think he'll stick to 2 miles myself although I don't doubt he'd get the TNC trip. Hopefully we can see him out in a more informative race before the festival. I'm not on Blue Lord myself but he's definitely looking like one to be watching out for, especially if you've backed Ferny Hollow in this.Comment

I think Turners for HEC as well but Arkle was named after his last race by Willie.Originally posted by Altior View PostComment
