I hope this means Buveur D'air is more likely to go chasing

The Mullins mare Listen Dear has an entry at Ballinrobe on Tuesday coming
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Altior will go straight over fences this season. Arkle the aim.
Any news on beauvais?Originally Posted by Diamond Geezer
the good thing about Nicky is that if he has a good one, it is Arkle bound with no messing

What's wrong with having a crack at the Champion Hurdle for a season? All being well Altior would be a serious rival to Annie and Faugheen in March, Fences aren't the be all and end all.
No decision made yet, Barry due to school him soon

As a Buveur D'Air Arkle backer the news Altior goes over fences is not pleasing.
Buveur D'Air - Henderson says, "He will probably remain over hurdles although we are going to school him over fences to see what he thinks. He might even be good enough to run in the Champion Hurdle."
Altior - "Before he even jumped a hurdle, we had always considered him to be a potential high-class jumping prospect. He does take plenty of work in between his races to maintain his fitness and loves top of the ground. The speed he has shown at home and n the racecourse is amazing. Plans for this season remain fluid."
Pluralism of Ideas and the prosperity of any land are intertwined. Freedom of minds and skill of intellect to 'think the unthinkable' is how humanity has progressed; when minds are incarcerated nothing endures.
I happened to be at Chepstow last year when Altior made his impressive hurdles debut and I have plenty of respect for him.
However, until we see how he gets on I have reservations about him being as good a chaser because he's not bred for it. It usually pays to oppose flat breds like him when they go chasing and as far as I can see Hadrian's Approach is the only horse by High Chaparral to have done anything much over fences.
The best price available about Altior for the Arkle is 4/1 (Betfair Sportsbook). He's as short as 5/2 with Coral. It's crazy - he's priced up as if the race is next week, he's won a couple of trials and Mullins and Nicholls have nothing for the race. Who would take these odds?
Watch the Supreme again, to my eyes Buveur D'Air looks the better prospect as a chaser, at least from a physical standpoint. Being a stable companion worries me a tad, as does the change of ownership.
His breeding is a big thing for me.
I see Gigi sending some of their flat breds jumping and it just doesn't suit them.
Nicky is clearly no mug but I'm not rushing to take the 4s when Identity Thief is 5 times his price

Won by 20l but doubt anything else was tryingin abundance.
Only copped this morning that she won a point too.
Is a very nice mares program in Ireland - She could pick up a lot of money

Decent little novice chase go with the novice hurdle at Perth tomorrow. Flying Angel was progressive in the big handicap hurdles last season and ran well to finish behind Yorkhill and Le Prezien at Aintree. He could be a decent sort to follow for the year.
Flying Angel won with ease. Could be a nice one to follow.
Well done, bongers.
Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......
Only buttons involved but there was a few quid on the exchange today looking to back Altior for the Arkle at 3.8 and 3.85 so I've put my money where my mouth is and laid him. I'm not a layer by nature nor do I particularly like to tie cash up for months but it's the principle of the thing.
Good for you. I considered quitting AP betting after last season. Got myself some great positions but the beauty of owner power won the day.

Surprised powers still show 20s

Nice round of jumping from Marracudja. Don't think he'll be top class, but will win his fair share
