I've got a decent amount on Vautour for the arkle and I have no qualms whatsoever about him going to the JLT now.

He's still at full stride across the line and took a long way to pull up. like I said 2nd gear if he,d gone round in 3rd, god only knows..https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30421945/irish-arkle?post_id=543281741#543281741Ruby let him an inch of rein after the second last and probably gave him a squeeze as he left Clarcam for dead.

But as they say the best go on anything. I don't think anyone is really saying he needs soft.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/30421945/irish-arkle?post_id=543281611#543281611Quite a few of us have thought he'd be better for better ground, he's so quick on his feet and he has a low stride he'd prefer better ground you'd imagine.

Should be fine.
