    I took some nrnb that price will be 7/1 if he wins today. If he doesn’t go, then cash back the Farouk D’alene is 14’s but there’s maybe not that much between them when you take a line through railway hurricane. Should be a good race anyway

    If the ground dries up he mightn't be a million miles away, he's usually keen in his races but you will be guaranteed a better gallop in Cheltenham.

    What are chances of Eglantine du Seuil (WPM mare) running in this?

    One word...... conflated

    I don’t think I’ve seen a more puzzling Festival in a long, long time. If the Festival kicked off tomorrow I don’t think I’d be able to name a winner for Day 1. Last year there were plenty of horses throughout the week that I was confident calling two or three weeks out but this year is mad stuff altogether. Off the top of my head there’s probably only two or three very short priced favorites over the four days and I think this year will throw up some mad results and massive SPs.

    The handicaps are always left until the day before for me, Antepost betting is an absolute no go and this year is the best example of it. The ground could still catch a lot of people out, these storms aren’t really showing any signs of clearing completely and the ground could be a bog on Day 1 which would scupper most handicap jobs and plots for the week. I remember a horse about 10 or 11 years ago trained by Jonjo O’Neill that was being minded all year, the money came and then the ground went against them. They waited until the following year and tried the same again with him. They got him so we’ll handicapped that he didn’t get in the following year and missed out by about two lbs.

    I think Conflated is going for the Coral Cup now elliot said.

    Does anyone see Notebook being turned over in the Arkle? and if so, why?


  • Registered Users Posts: 869 ✭✭✭carq


    i will be backing cash back in that race.
    just think he is open to more improvement and would rather be on him at treble the price.

    Will likely top up rachel blackmore top jockey at 6/1 to have a bit of cover if things go south.

    Fair enough, always thought notebook had him covered last time out, fakir and cash back would have to reverse form while brewinupastorm was going to lose before the last fence and wasnt too impressive lto. Not saying they wont reverse form but ive seen people say notebook is one of the worst prices of the festival and I cant understand that

    Anyone think Fakir D'oudairies will run in the Marsh rather than the Arkle?
    Have a few nice bets on him for the Marsh and wondering if i should cash out or not.....

    I'd be confident he goes for the Marsh, unless the ground turns up very soft I cant see him going for the Arkle

    Pertemps : One i am going to keep an eye on and has an entry in a Pertemps qualifier on Sunday at Exeter is Palmers Hill. JP seems to do well in the race and this is another of his , trained by JJ O'Neill. The horse already has course winning form winning impressively in Nov 18.Race worth a look. Horse has been lightly raced but form of those in behind in his runs is pretty decent . He missed his previous intended run due to a temperature (another JP horse went on to win the race) so Sunday is his last chance to qualify for the Pertemps at Cheltenham.The Irish have had a good recent record in this race so hoping Palmers Hill can buck the trend. Had a small few quid on with Skybet @ 16/1 NRNB.

    Was entered in 2 qualifiers at Exeter but both were cancelled so plans changed. Has entries in the Coral and Martin Pipe. Made its long awaited return on Saturday at Kempton and ran a cracker , just beaten a neck into 2nd.
    Have now backed it for the Martin Pipe NRNB.....

    Yeah all depends on the ground. If its proper soft he'll 100% be Arkle bound and 100% carry my money :)

    I too love FD for the Arkle. He just beats Notebook.

    In an attempt to restrict my liability i've cashed out a certain amount of my Champagne Classic bets, mostly the bets taken at 5/1 & 7/1 as there seems a clear possibility he is rerouted to the RSA.

    If the betfair exchanges re BattleoverDoyen are somewhat reliable as in indicator, then you'd think its unlikely he'll run. But maybe thats just a result of Gordons words, and the fact he fell lto.

    Dont mind losing money ap, but given the way this has played out, there's a chance to restrict my loses if he does go RSA so I'm going to take it :)

    Seemingly the flood crisis in South Wales is now been dealt with and no domestic ministers have threatened to resign or be fired by Boris Johnson, he only reshuffled last week so current positions are all safe. That being the case the Corona Virus has further media opportunities this week.

    In Ireland it looks like Wolfe Tone terrace is getting a hammering off the River Shannon, it looks nasty enough in fairness and Graham Dwyer is still trying to get away with murder.

    It is not going to happen Raj. Get over it.

    What is the story with Felix Desjy? Still entered in the Champion hurdle, I presume he is injured?

    They would hardly run him there first time out?
