Is this a market we should be looking at quite closely with a view to playing in now? (Yorkhill out to 2/1 Sky) As unlikely as I personally think it is, Yorkhill could end up in the Arkle (Min missing his engagement certainly is NOT a positive for Yorkhill JLT backers in any sense) ... so will this the fact that we only have 1 other horse in single figures (who also is a possible for the Arkle) mean there could be a horser at double figures now that ends up fav?
Who do we know is going for this race:
Yorkhill - Arkle bound? (I don't think so but let's play it out)
Buveur D'air - on FFP Emmet said he has heard Arkle is the plan...
Whisper I think this IS ... but does have form over further?
Politologue RSA all but ruled out, but with Aux Ptit Soins maybe Politilogue goes Arkle and APS JLT?
Bellshill - Fav for RSA, definitely "needs a trip" - Won't run in this.
Coney Island - Been mooted as improving over further despite his G1 over 2m4f
Might Bite - RSA or misses it altogether?
Benie Des Dieux - Would love to see the stats on Mullins mares going to Cheltenham over fences in their first season... not gonna turn up surely?
The New One - 100% non runner
Min - Certainly not aimed at the race, although if Yorkhill did go for the Arkle Min would be fav for this.... but this angle has been covered before by Al Ferof.
Clan Des Obeaux - Disappointed a bit last time, but this surely the target?
Bleu Et Rouge - Can't say certainly engaged in this, with other JP horses ahead in the betting, running over 2m tomorrow and been mentioned as a stayer?
Anibale Fly - Bit below top class? Not sure this is the target (similar to above)
Le Prezien - Arkle?
American Tom - Looks a likely runner IF FIT but hard to be excited
Top Notch - JUst as likely to go for the Arkle
.... in bold I've got all the (what I consider) certain runners? Interested to know what people think about targets or anything I've missed?
Would Whisper be fav? (At least you know you've got a superb pilot on board?) I backed at 16s but think I would back at 12s if I wasn't on.....
