Verdict

Arkle third ORDINARY WORLD had Ball D'Arc in arrears at Punchestown in the spring and now re-opposes on 9lb better terms so, as long he is fit enough to do himself justice on his reappearance, he should be capable of confirming that form. Providing there is market confidence behind him, a bigger threat may emerge from the unexposed American Tom who had excuses for his abject showing on this course last time out, having looked a potentially smart prospect when winning at Punchestown previously.
  1. Ordinary World
