Edwardstone can help the Brits get off to a fast start in the Arkle

There can be little doubt that the Irish are going to win the Prestbury Cup and they are going to win it by a distance, but anyone who wants to back them might want to wait until after the first few races because there is a strong chance that the Brits go 3-0 up

To start with there is Constitution Hill and Jonbon in the Supreme, the Irish haven’t won the Ultima since 2006, and after the last couple of weekends I do think that the Arkle is going to stay at home as well.

Of course there is still a month to go until the Cheltenham Festival in March and a lot can change, but I wasn’t that impressed by Blue Lord in the Irish Arkle, while Edwardstone once again looked imperious in the Kingmaker.
