Arkle - Gordon Richards 

Nope , but you are right it is at Cheltenham, a hurdler not a chaser  

Istabraq? 

Good guess Jonty Close it also a three time champion hurdler born the same year as me 1963  

Persain Warrior 

Near enough Jonty Persian War well done 

I remember Night nurse, Dawn Run and the likes but Persian War was a little before I became interested in horse racing. That's probably why I got the name slightly wrong. 

Jonty Persian War was before my time it was my father's painting my era was 1980's That is no problem I cheated the name of the horse was on the frame of the painting. 

Aloha, dear Chestnut🤙🏽
