2023 Arkle Novices Chase

[Hurricane fly]

Should be fine for Irish horses, just what they're used to.

The trouncing the Irish gave the UK horses Wed - Fri once it stopped being rattling fast was kind of lost in the discussions last year

That jump at the second last was one of the memories that'll stick with me forever. Not saying it was the best thing I've ever seen, it just really stood out.

Yeh it was special. El Fab is a tool. Sounds like Willie wants to keep him at 2m next season which makes sense.

Biggest disappointment. Alton Towers.





Interesting to see how bullish they are about his chances next year. Seemed pretty clear Energumene was way better than Blue Lord and Gentleman De Mee ...... will Energumene be 10 next year?

Probably play it with a straight bat and see how they come back next year
