If it wasn't for the threat of rain it would be a straight win bet. I think he is just a (much) better horse than Getabird. Russell was just wary of him getting up the hill at Cheltenham and couldn't peg the front three back.
Hopefully, Getabird doesn't get handed the ridiculously easy lead he got last time. That proved very little. Vision Des Flos wants a strong pace and Beyond The Law goes forward so tactically the favourite is in trouble.
Even if he wins impressively Paloma Blue will be winning the Arkle next year. Far more scope than the likely opposition.
According to his column Russell thinks Ben Dundee is his best chance today. Pinch of salt time I think.

What a horse UDS.
Unfortunately thats the bubble burst with Douvan now. Something may come out that hes feeling something as he didnt jump well.
Anyone watching Rte can see how shocked the team are. Ruby had Douvan a certainity and Paul T couldnt speak on his way in he was in shock that much

"The iron horse" Un De Sceaux.... did not anticpate that - had deserted him today - couldn't see any way Douvan lost with a clear round.
I don't know what to make of it but that is for another day, what an absolute belter UDS is!
