2016 Arkle Trophy Novices Chase

I'd like to see him in this race as I had 12s earlier in the season;)
 
So excited now. Weekend before Festival. Like when u was a kid when its this time a year.
 
How about Douvan to tie his stick between his legs and put on a skirt to run in the mares?

Jokes aside, I think WM could actually make statement and run in another race even if he won the Arkle as well. I wouldn't bet against it.

Hope you're right there LR coz I also have him in an early season bet for the Neptune, couple of bets with him in the Arkle at 4's though, so happy enough
 
I've also added Zamdy Man w/o Douvan at 50/1 with B365, 1/4 odds.
 
Not sure Ista but got nrnb. Tony Calvin has just put him up as a bet without Douvan on RUK
 
50s NRNB, great bet FM.
This could be a 6 runner race, you could end up having to finish in front of just two to collect !
 
Are all the grade 1's 48 hr decs or is it just the champion hurdle for the Tuesday races?

I can't remember!

Only seven runners go to post in the Arkle at 2:10pm but it’s a race we’ve won five times before including with the like of Remittance Man and Sprinter Sacre; this year VANITEUX represents the @sevenbarrows team.

Obviously Douvan (4/11) is the one to beat and if Vaniteux (6/1) runs a race to finish second we could finish second, if we ride the race to beat Douvan we might not finish second, we don’t know but we’re going to ride a race to try and keep tabs on Douvan. Put simply – I can’t believe that Douvan won’t make the running so we’ll just have to sit where we’re comfortable and if Douvan takes Vaniteux out of his comfort zone he’ll just have to sit where he’s happy – you can only go as fast as you can go. The ground will be perfect for him.
