Does anyone know if this one is being aimed at the Arkle next year? If so I think he's a big price even in what looks like a very competitive year. He's arguably achieved more finishing 4th in the Champion this year than those ahead of him in the betting bar Peddlers Cross. Does anyone know whether he will stay over hurdles or not?

resnar, I think that was the plan, at least for this season, before a minor injury interrupted preparations. Was relatively short price for it around Christmas. Happy to be corrected on these points, but I'm expecting him to go for Arkle anyway.

Looks like he will be staying over hurdles.

"His form has stood up all season and it was great to go and see him win a Grade One - and get the trip so well.

"I think we're edging towards him staying hurdling next season now."

5-1 with Laddies to go unbeaten throughout his career. (Big Bucks)

Big Bucks has a challenger- Oscar Whiskey,and a serious one at that.If he stays,and connections are very confident he does, with his form shown thus far,he is the best horse that BB will have faced.
Thousand Stars i agree would be interesting as well.
