I say slow burner as even though he has won a few Novice Chases so far this season nobody seems to be talking about him for Cheltenham.
His form is there for all to see but just taking his last win beating Pearlysteps under 3L. Wymott beat that same horse a similar distance under similar conditions yet he is 16s for the RSA (dont get me wrong I quite like this one aswell)
I doubt that Golan way would stay 3m and whilst the Jewson or the old one may be a target I wonderd if anybody thought he might be an outsider for the Arkle. He won over 2m round Cheltenham as a novice hurdler with some decent horses in behind and its always said that you need one that stays further to win the Arkle.
I like the way he atacks his fences and whilst he may be a bit on the small side I think he could be one to keep on the right side of this season.
I asked about him in the Arkle thread after the cantered up in his first novice chase, no one was at all interested! Personally, I think he's a lovely animal and is a live outside for the Arkle. I do have trouble imagining him being good enough to win though.

Nice horse, almost certainly not one for the festival. Seems to find it easy to go away from horses on flatter tracks and perhaps that is where he can take a handicap, as he clearly has guts too. Racing Post Chase perhaps?

One of the gamest horses in training but I don't think he has the size to handle the fences at the major tracks. Would probably come a cropper round Cheltenham.
