Dell’Arca was able to get his season started off in a big way by winning the Grade 3 Greatwood Hurdle at Cheltenham back in November and then he made a run at the Grade 3 Ladbroke Hurdle. He unseated Tom Scudamore that day and David Pipe saw it fit to take him off the track for about a month and a half or so to get him freshened up and sharpen his jumping.
He was campaigned at some pretty obscure French tracks for the earlier portions of his career- running at Seronnes-Pouance and Nantes, among several other interesting ones you don’t often see. To his credit, he won his first race - the Greatwood - on English soil by a 1/2 length margin against a tough field of 18.
Dell’Arca is a general 10/1 with most major bookmakers.
The other big contender here is Rolling Star for NIcky Henderson’s yard and he’s been punching it out primarily at the top level but had to drop to a Class 2 Handicap to actually open his account for the season on first time of asking. He was soundly beaten when taking money in his next race while being beaten by a massive 26 lengths.
It wasn’t the going that beat him that day as it’s clear he enjoys softer ground and you have to wonder about his ability to handle the extra ground. Punters will find him anywhere form 8/1 to 10/1 at the moment.
