Would love this to happen....
From Matt Brocklebank
'So, here it is... we all need a long-term plan and if you're striving for greatness then those plans may initially look quite daunting, borderline unrealistic. Here’s one for Constitution Hill, working back from the ultimate goal at Prestbury Park on Friday March 14, 2025:
Cheltenham Gold Cup, Cheltenham - March 2025
King George VI Chase, Kempton - December 2024
1965 Chase, Ascot - November 2024
Melling Chase, Aintree – April 2024
Queen Mother Champion Chase, Cheltenham - March 2024
Game Spirit Chase, Newbury - February 2024
Henry VIII Novices’ Chase, Sandown – December 2023
Novice chase of choice – November 2023'
Do it Nicky !!!!!

Certainly covers owners criteria of needing to know if he stays 3m before going Gold Cup. Start off 2024 leisurely winning Arkle and finish the year off winning a King George over 3m. Works for me as well.
Supreme, Champion Hurdle,Arkle,King George and Gold Cup. Definitely GOAT then.Last edited by Lobos; 7 September 2023, 11:22 AM.

The race that’s run just over an hour later on that day……that’s the one you’ll be seeing him in, if fit & well.

Agreed, but it’s nigh on a certainty the next one on the list, the Arkle, he’ll never be seen in.

Let me instead try to convince you.
He won’t be chasing over 2 miles next season.
Novice nor otherwise.
