 Thisthatandtother, did a fair winning impression of his Arkle winning stablemate Azertyuiop in the corresponding race last year and, not surprisingly leapt to Arkle Trophy favouritism - as short as 3/1 with Corals - on the back of this success. That looked as much as an overreaction as the 8/1 about last years winner was the opposite, although this classy act sets the benchmark.
