An Irish-English Arkle double looks on for the Willie Mullins trained Blue Lord following victory at Leopardstown on Saturday.

Simon Munir and Isaac Souede's seven-year-old beat Gordon Elliott's Riviere D'etel by half a length to set up the Arkle two-timer at Cheltenham.
The Paul Townend-ridden Blue Lord survived a stewards' enquiry after the pair nearly collided on a couple of occasions but the placings stood after a discussion.
Blue Lord remains unbeaten in three starts and kept his place at the top of the market at a general 5-2 for the Arkle on March 15.

Anthony Bromley, co-founder of Highflyer Bloodstock and racing manager to owners Simon Munir and Isaac Souede, feels that although clearly talented, the gelding has plenty to learn.

"Simon and Isaac were really pleased to be there to witness him win a first Grade One," said Bromley. "Paul Townend felt he was idling a bit up the run-in and was still a bit green.
"He seems fine after the race and all roads lead to the Cheltenham Arkle.
"The owners won the Irish Arkle with Footpad (2018) and he went on to win the English Arkle. While Footpad was more impressive than Blue Lord, the one thing Blue Lord has in his favour is that he is lightly raced and still learning.
"He still has a tendency to race a bit keenly and I'd say there is still more room for improvement.
"I think the horse is getting better and you wouldn't swap him for anything else in the race, but equally, with Ferny Hollow ruled out through injury, it is a wide-open renewal.
"He is a lovely big, scopey horse, who has done nothing wrong and his future is very much in front of him. It was very exciting, but that long stewards' inquiry was not good for the heart!"
