Cheltenham Home

Irish Independent Arkle Trophy, at Prestbury Park in March.

Indeed, in the ante-post market for the 2m novice chasers championship race at the Festival Finian’s Rainbow and Ghizao are both priced up at half the odds of Realt Dubh with many bookmakers. ittedly, that duo possess enormous potential, but Realt Dubh leaves the impression that he is crying out for the searing end-to-end gallop that he will get in the Arkle Trophy, and the battling qualities he showcased at Leopardstown will serve him well up the Cheltenham hill. He’s a cracking each-way bet in my opinion.
