Tinkler not alllowed anywhere near Altior........

Bit happy on the L's there!

He also rode O O Seven most rides over hurdles but first sign of fences and he was binned (but he rode for the same owners in a hurdle on the same card).

Surprised not to see Geraghty parachuted in for the day

me too

Is it me or do Altior's back legs look really long much like Coneygree's.

gagged up tbf but reallly nice introduction by fehily

He was more vigorous on that than he was on that novice hurdler at Plumpton last Monday

yep, Fehily right to let him go on - balloon jump at first and low head carriage like Thistlecrack - surely both are because they're not going fast enough, they're actually more comfortable with a better gallop.

that was very impressive knowing as we do he is not a bridle horse, jump beautifully, was effortless great scope. Take world of beating in the arkle

cheltenham is a good way off yet but you couldn't make anything else fav for the arkle for sure, exciting horse looking forward to his next run

Very impressive. Would love to get stuck into him for the Arkle, but the current price is an absolute joke.

hate saying things like that this far of cheltenham but bar injuries horse looks an absolute natural. Proven at chelt and isn't a bridle horse. Unless min has grown can't see him being a  chaser looked quite small ( i may be wrong) some lucky people must of nicked 3-1 when that race was running, some sites left it up till about half way round and then changed to 15-8

Still 5/2 in places now. Not for me at that price. With all the price boost etc nearer the time, I think its crazy.

Identity Thief looks a very good horse for a start.

may well be shorter on the day but not for me @ 5/2 this far out, impressive as it was

Plus if Identity Thief does take him on in the Arkle, expect a Gigginstown spoiler to be put in the race.
