2:55 Longchamp: Treve 11/10 ★★★★★ NAP
I think Treve has an outstanding chance of making racing history today by winning the Arc for a 3rd consecutive time. Last year Treve won this race after a terrible buildup that was blighted by injury. This year Treve is better than ever, 3 for 3 and had a perfect build up. I really think Treve should be odds on and not odds against. The only reason for that is the ground. If the ground was anyway soft she would be unbeatable today. The ground is good. Yes she is a better horse on soft but the thing is she did win this race on good ground last year. I don't think it will affect her too much, her class will see her through. I think you couldn’t back a better 11/10 horse all season than this.
3:45 Tipperary: Thomas Edison 6/4 ★★★★
Smart sort who won the Galway Hurdle in great style in 2014 and looked like he would follow up in this years renewal of the race up until he crashed out at the final flight. He would of had today's rival and stablemate Ted Veale back in 4th that day if he had of stood up. He has been given plenty time off since and an error-free reproduction of that run would make him the one to beat here. He has the beaten of Ted Veale on that run and the only other danger in here today is Thousand Stars who finished last in Italy last week. 6/4 wont last long.
5:45 Tipperary: Oathkeeper 5/4 ★★★★
Looked a nice sort on debut when beating 17 rivals in a good bumper at Roscommon, including second placed Prince D'Aubrelle who won since. He is 3 lbs better off with that rival today and should take all the beating again. There are rumors that horse is the best National Hunt horse that Aidan O'Brien has trained since Istabraq. He has a long ways to go to be categorized in that class but he could be top class and one to certainly watch for the season.
2:45 Uttoxeter: YouNeverCall 15/8 ★★★
In my opinion this race wont take much winning, YouNeverCall has one bumper win from 2 starts last season. Now with a top yard, this is its first run for Kim Bailey. With Sam Twiston-Davies on board it would suggest a big run is to be expected and he can hopefully get off the mark over the hurdles at the first time of asking.
Outsider of the Day:
3:40 Longchamp: Mirza 40/1 ★★
He really should of won this race last year and I've been following him ever since. He had a poor draw and his run got impeded 4 times during the last 2 furlongs. When he finally got room to get out he absolutely flew home for 5th. He has a better draw today, ground in his favor. I think he has the class to win this race, its only a matter of getting a clear run.
