I might be mad, but I think Ballyburn still turns up for the Arkle.
Bar a couple, I thought his jumping was a bit better today and Kempton is one of the sharper tracks he'll end up at over 2m.
Do I think he can beat Sir Gino off levels? I wouldn't take it off the table, put it that way, but obviously things will have to go absolutely perfect for him and less so for Sir Gino.
Take nothing away from Sir Gino though, an absolute natural, a phenomenal debut over fences.

And seeing their respective jumping after being analysed on rtv it’s pretty clear there as well.
I would be surprised if Bally goes 2m again.

I made a comment a little while ago about the game spirit for Sir Gino, If they think he has the same sort of potential as SS and Altior then that race would fit in nicely just before the festival. I don't think that would be part of Jonbon's plans would it? I might be wrong.Long bitcoin, long gold, long silver, long g/s opening day Cheltenham Festival

I guess the Game Spirit could also be an option as Jonbon is planned to go to Ascot .

14/1 is a great price, IMO.
