Backed it three times. Betfair Sportsbook have pushed it out to 11/2 but after a difficult couple of weeks will stick at that.
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.
