Lay of the festival

Footpad doesn't need to lead. PM was never going to lead last time as they never intended to get into a battle and leave his race at Leopardstown. PM and SC will go off in front and potentially set it up for FP. PM has one way of winning and that's out in front. Taking each other on could end in disaster and it will be a Munir 1 2 I reckon.

I may well end up looking foolish and a few quid lighter too. And as the odds confirm you'll probably be proved right. But i've got a niggle that tells me FP doesn't win the Arkle.

I think he's got the strongest competition for the horses around his price ...
