My oh my, the Racing Post Arkle is shaping up to be the most mouth-watering affair.

Willie Mullins used the phrase 'Arkle material' to describe Yorkhill's 14-length romp on his first try over fences and, if that is the route he is going to take, what a clash it is going to be between him, Altior and Identity Thief.

Bookmakers still seem to think he will go down the JLT route as Paddy Power make him a 7-1 shot for the Arkle, yet he was cut into 3-1 favourite (from 4) for the JLT. He did jump a little to the left, which is obviously a little worrying around Fairyhouse, but it will not be a problem at Cheltenham.
