Arkle-bound Tidal Bay may have busy festival

Tidal Bay could conceivably run twice at the Cheltenham Festival, in the Irish Independent Arkle Trophy and the Royal & SunAlliance Chase.

Connections of the seven-year-old have been undecided about which race to target, and while the Arkle is emerging as the more likely option, an outing in both events is a possibility – although a remote one.
