    It'd be great to see Overturn win from the front in the Arkle!

    Overturn isn't a grade 1 horse I'm afraid.

    Well he's only ran in two, Finishing second in one and up with the pace for a long way in the champion when he was hampered, Could be a lot better over fences. Could also be a lot worse. :pac:

    I think he's one of those 'nearly' horses. That said,he's about as game as they come and if he imrpoves over fences,he could well be one.

    Best that Overturn can hope for is to finish 2nd to Peddler's in the Arkle. This guy has been crying out for a fence, hurdles was a bonus, chasing is his game!

    Sprinter Sacre will also make a lovely chaser imo and I presume First Lieutenant is also going chasing???

    Also I hope Weapon's Amnesty comes back as good as ever, if he does he will serve it up to Long Run in the Gold Cup ;)

    :eek:

    Im not sure, id say he would place in the CH if not used as a Pacemaker. On good ground at the festival he could be placed handily enough next year, if peddlers goes jumping.

    I cant see him jumping a fence tough..

    I'm not so sure aidan,I suppose we'll never know unless he's truly tested in a grade 1,which looks unlikely that we'll see him over hurdles. Reminds me of Huff It. Not a group 1 sprinter for me,just a good handicapper who's game.

    Ya could be right, not so sure about hoof it tough, i think ill be backing him next time over 6 furlongs, for a race where everything went wrong i think he finished about as near as possible, and i was impressed on subsequent watchings.. Id say hes near enough G1

    It's hard to say-The 5 furlong sprint division is weak at the minute,it depends who he comes up against. I'd take the likes of Delegator or Dream Ahead over him if he were to meet them in a 6 furlong group race.


    Anyone else heading to fences? What about Cue Card?

    I would imagine Al Ferof will be going chasing.
    Maybe Bob's Worth too???
    Possibly Menorah!

    Bob's Worth supposedly going chasing too

    Others of note:

    First Lieutenant
    Sir Des Champs?

    At the minute the RSA is actually exciting me more than the Arkle. Fingers crossed no bad luck strikes any of them
