It was a race run at a strong enough pace, and that was exactly what SOLWHIT required as he won his fifth Grade 1 race in nine months and put himself forward as the most likely winner of the Champion Hurdle.


This race was run at more of a Cheltenham pace than any other he has contested this season. He travelled well and jumped as fluently as he ever has, perhaps hit a flat spot for a few strides after the second-last, but really picked up well after a good jump at the last, putting distance between himself and some good horses.


Everything suggests the particular test of 2m around Cheltenham in the Champion will suit him better than most, and in addition the way his jumping has improved this season takes away the one potential flaw he has. He looks likely to take some beating in March.

Don't think I didn't see your comment on his page :)

Arkle tomorrow


The betting suggested that Nicky Henderson was going to collect a third win in this race from five renewals as RIVERSIDE THEATRE was well backed by punters. He made a good start to his chasing career with a smooth success at Newbury (the runner-up had already franked the form) and followed that up with another accomplished round of jumping. His winning record is impressive and he can make his way to the top if staying healthy. Connections suggested afterwards that he may go to the Arkle in March without another run as he goes well fresh, but they may find something in early February if they felt he needed more experience. His odds are much longer than they should be with some bookmakers for Cheltenham, merely because he does not had the same high profile as others.

    • maybe u should speak to some of the kids parents who are constantly mugged who can’t get a police officer to investigate and tell them to stick to gb news, such a childish righteousness comment for your self  All jokes aside there is young kids constantly getting mugged in our area, there is masked bike riders going around armed with knife’s, all I’m saying is police resources could be better used, police wont use there resources to respond to car theft but will happily knock on someone’s door for hurtful comments on the internet which should have us all thinking 🤔 
    • I recommend you stick to GB News following that last comment.  Hate crime is still a crime.  We all think that we know best.
