Henderson said a few weeks ago that he was staying over hurdles but judging on the betting on here they seem to have changed there minds. Thanks.Down to run this Saturday. If it's soft ground hope Henderson pulls him out!https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30112429/grandouet-arkle?post_id=537540965#537540965Down to run this Saturday.

It's likely he'll appear to be travelling well at some point before finding little.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30112429/grandouet-arkle?post_id=537469459#537469459Having said that, he's probably a decent back to lay prospect.

I fancied him before Kempton, but, even allowing for conditions not being right for him, he had to perform better than that. He doesn't have the bottle for an Arkle.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30112429/grandouet-arkle?post_id=537469301#537469301Completely agree with Duffy.

I just think the make up of the Arkle will play into his hands with a fast pace and plenty of runners to help him settle.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30112429/grandouet-arkle?post_id=537461541#537461541i think his jumping has been pretty good.

Hopefully he can turn it around at Cheltenham bhttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30112429/grandouet-arkle?post_id=537460301#537460301Having backed him I would like to say I agree but my main worry with him (beside his jumping!) is that he hasn't won for over two years!I couldn't believe that was true when I looked back over his form.

It's not like his form over fences isn't worth a tuppence. Those 2 close runs to Hinterland still say he can win races. Maybe he'll be in the Grand Annual Imagine that.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30112429/grandouet-arkle?post_id=537113673#537113673I don't see the point in returning to hurdles.

Sprinter Sacre and Simonsig had 2 do it the hard way for the last 2 years and done it easily and judged on that performance 2day hhttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30112429/grandouet-arkle?post_id=537103489#537103489Be interesting 2 here what BG has 2 say about it.
