Petit Mouchoir now clear favourite for Arkle

David Stevens | 18.10.2017

Petit Mouchoir is the 9-1 (from 12-1) favourite with Coral for the Racing Post Arkle, after the high-class hurdler made a winning start to his chasing career at Punchestown today.

“Petit Mouchoir was a multiple Grade One winner over hurdles, and although he will face much tougher tests over the bigger obstacles in the coming months, his chasing debut showed plenty of promise and he’s the early favourite for the Racing Post Arkle,” said Coral’s David Stevens.
