Lulamba isnt the greatest jumper is he, always seems to through in 1 or 2 mad ones but hes still only a 5 year old and with a trip who knows he might just iron it out. Kopek travelled like a dream but the experience might just have been his downfall, big days lie ahead. The Arkle is all about jumping and Kargese was magnificent, what a special mare she is. Any of you nerds know how she measured up on the clock?

Yeah, Lulamba plenty of growing up to do.
He did lay up with them ok though which I weren’t sure of before and his jumping was good enough till the 2nd last mishap.
He does look like more of a Trip would suit him better though.
I can see Kopek being a big player in the big 2m chases next season for sure.
Kargese should be too imo.

Not massive bets but very good prices. God i love Cheltenham.

Bad results would be Romeo and Final Demand. Not got a penny on either
 
….Big Westerner likely to be pulled out.
 
TBW about to be declared a non runner due to ground for any that can cash out. ITV racing.

I put a fairly big bet on her at 6/1 last week, nrnb. Saw her drift over the weekend to 10's, and have been regretting that bet since - was only of my worse bets going into the festival this year in terms of timings and price

shame she's pulled from the race, lucky the N/R is getting me out of a bad position

I was on at 18s AP small stakes a long time ago, not particularly confident given the ground, couldn’t cash out, thankfully have a few other “dodgy” chances in the race 😂😂. After revisiting this race last night, going in on western fold.

Think Henry has made a balls with July Flower. Should have run her in a good ground, small field Arkle. Now he might have to go further on bad ground.
 
Ahh well done to those who got out of it.

I've had her as a 2pt 59/1 double with Woodhooh in the Martin pipe last year! Gutted to have missed it

BFX has notified me that Predators Gold is a NR.

Paddock Notes​

10 Romeo Coolio - tight and stressy in the preliminaries; needs to settle. No fitness questions but more uptight than DRF.

2 Final Demand - poor through the coat, big scopey type but doesn’t appeal on appearance
 
For me the hood on romeo is an enormous red flag.

dont mind hoods at all but on a horse going up in trip for the first time its not something id want to see at all
 
Great ride from Harry there, redemption. As I’ve been saying for ages, 6 year old French breds have a terrible record in this race, more so when not completing LTO. Take a bow Mullins and Cobden. Touché. #trendbuster
