Re: Tues 2.05 : Irish Independent Arkle Challenge Trophy Steeple Chase Arkle Trends ■Older horses have held an advantage in recent years, with 13 of the past 17 winners aged 6 or older. ■British horses have performed better than their Irish counterparts with 11 of the past 17 Arkle winners trained in Britain. ■Look for a horse that won last time out, 11 from the past 17 winners came to the Arkle on the back of a win. ■Jumping experience is key, all of the past 16 winners had won over fences with 15 of the 16 having at least two wins over bigger obstacles. ■Favourites in the Arkle have a poor record with only two jollies winning in the past 17 runnings of the race.
