Anything on CE?

No. But identical to footpad last season with the same not quoted from pp bf.

And they admitted that they knew that footpad was the arkle horse from day 1 at home.

Putting together the quote you posted on him earlier Scooby and what we've heard there it does sound like Draconien doesn't it.

The improvement over the winter/summer correction ties in with Draconien who last raced in April. 20/1 any race with Hills

And Ruby had already said it a few days back on his blog.

I can't imagine he's going to be as good as Footpad but I'm happy to have taken 22/1 any race for now
 
Nothing from PP & Betfair to suggest it would be Draconien, as they are some strong words from Willie there!

Yeah, alarm bells!

Maybe it's Cilaos Emery and they're keeping it up their sleeve like they did with Footpad
 
Took a position on this race early doors with a fair few pennies and even more free bets tied up on Kalashnikov, Mengli Khan, Paloma Blue and Vision Des Flos (mostly any race). Personally not interested in backing the potential Mullins dart at this race just yet, bit too much uncertainty over who the number 1 will be between Getabird, Draconian and CE.
 
Draconien is the one Willie has said 'could be in the Footpad league'.
 
Hope that's worked? About 1 min 40 secs in.

Willie is being very bullish on a lot of horses of late, hard to spot the right one

I don't think he is being overly bullish about a lot of horses, although people interpret 'bullish' differently. That being said, how else can you interpret likening a novice chaser to being potentially in the same league as Footpad, given what Footpad has gone onto to achieve.
