50s with WH. Although I can't see anything other than 2 and a half.
 
Can’t see anything other than the mares chase for Gin on Lime ( I hope)!

I'd have backed her for that at 20's with 365, but they greyed her out of all races prior to the race.

I never thought PKTO had the pace to win a Arkle, never mind a champion chase. I was totally against her last year for the QM and she proved me wrong
What I do trust thought is the trainer, he appears to be half decent placing and more importantly going for the bigger races despite what people say. If Magic Daze disappoints, and he's left with one mare to shoot at the fez, wouldnt not suprise me if they went for the arkle

After that demolition job GOL has to get that all important entry for the Arkle trial. She is made for the race. Huge amount of chasing experience now. Brilliant jumper, out front out of trouble putting pressure on everyone else. Clearly stays 2 1/2 miles so her stamina will come into play up the hill. Think she will devour it. She is likely to get her ground and she'll get the 7lbs allowance as well. She's followed the Put The Kettle On route thus far so no reason to stop now.

My Drogo won't be making return until at least the end of October. Allmankind to start out over hurdles at Chepstow before returning to Chases. Paddy power GC for Protektorat. Charlie Hall chase for Shan Blue.

Gin On Lime and Robbie Power jumping the last

Robbie Power returned to action following back surgery in the best possible fashion when partnering Gin On Lime to an impressive victory in the Grade 3 O’Dwyer Steel Dundrum Novice Chase at Tipperary.

The Grand National and Gold Cup winning rider was having his first ride since an operation back in July and the script could hardly have been more perfect as the Robcour-owned mare ran her five rivals ragged.

The Henry de Bromhead-trained 7/4 favourite was soon in front and made virtually all in this two and a half miles event.

She asserted approaching the final fence and stretched right away on the run-in to beat Fan De Blues by an impressive 12 lengths with Busselton a further three and three quarter lengths adrift in third.

A beaming Power said afterwards, “That’s what I’ve been fighting to get fit for ones like that.

“I’ve been riding out for three weeks and I’ve been working hard on my fitness. I don’t think I’ve ever put as much effort into being fit to come back and I feel great.

“I thought on her run in Galway and getting 7lb she would reverse places with Fan De Blues but I didn’t for one minute think it would be that easy. She is probably a shade better going left-handed as well.

“She’s a brilliant jumper and so quick through the air as well. She puts a lot of novices under pressure with the way that she jumps. That’s probably her best performance so far and there is a lot to look forward with her.”

De Bromhead, “She was brilliant and I’m delighted for Robbie on his first ride back. It’s great to see him back, and to do it as well as she did - brilliant.

“She’s been great for us and we’ve had some season with her. She was a little bit unlucky in Galway, but otherwise it’s been faultless.

“She seemed to like the return to two and a half miles - I think that’s more her trip. Coming here I was hoping that, if we ran well here, we might look at the two-and-a-half-mile at Cheltenham in November, and then I’d say we’ll put her away.”

Those comments seem pretty nailed on for the marsh or mares chase unfortunately

Or run Bob Olinger in it.

And I wonder why he hoped for that?:onthego:
The Mares Chase here we come.
Robcour have Magic Daze and Bob Olinger as more probabl for the Arkle than Gin On Lime.

After 7 Chase runs she has the same amount of chasing experience as both Elimay (4 chases) and Colreevy (3 chases) had combined when they lined up for the Mares Chase in March.

A plan well hatched by Henry, and he is already aiming to give her experience at the racecourse in November.

I’m already booked in for that meeting, really looking forward to seeing Gin On Lime sail over the fences at Prestbury Park.

I know it's different distances, which could be a factor, but a thought I had whilst walking the dog tonight was..

'What kind of signs must magic daze be showing at home for them to suggest that she was the superior animal on that twitter thread?'

Hopefully we will find out soon, but fun to wonder until then!
