2008 Afsoun
Unchanged For Arkle After Chasing
Debut Afsoun, who
finished third in the 2007 Smurfit Champion Hurdle,
got his chasing career off to a winning start at
Warwick. The Nick
Henderson trained gelding was sent off the 4/11
favourite for the race on the back of his hurdles
form. However, odds-on punters were left to sweat
it out right up until the line - where Barry
Geraghty's charge finally got his head past the
eventual runner-up Oh Crick. William
Hill's
reaction to Afsoun's hard fought victory was to
leave him unchanged at 20/1 for the Irish
Independent Arkle at the Cheltenham
Festival. William Hill
spokesman Tony Kenny commented: "We thought this
race was going to be a stroll in the park for
Afsoun, but his jumping was far from fluent, and
he'll need to show dramatic improvement if he's
going to become an Arkle contender. Already Tatenen
looks like he's the standard bearer in the two mile
novice chase division, and Afsoun looks way off him
at the moment." Try your luck at
