Arkle 2018

When Ruby said Cilaos Emery is his novice chaser to follow... I backed him for this.... yesterday I backed the same horse the stayers hurdle.... that is poor betting haha :highly_amused:

Haha, you can look forward to me posting every single bet I've placed the weekend before the festival then.... littered with terrible bets :highly_amused:
 
Told you before, before Cheltenham and the colic, Bunk Off Early was considered superior to Cilaos over hurdles. :cool:

Plenty of novice chase ammunition left at Closutton so don't over-commit until February.

In the tracker ready for you to let me know when BOE is back :encouragement:
 
He went to Thurles for a day out last week but, confusingly, seemed to be exercising over hurdles.

Off 142 I'd be looking at a 100k handicap hurdle but what do I know!

JUst re-watching Hobbs after DDS won the Triumph and he thinks "he'd be mustard" over his fences. Said he could be an Arkle horse. So disappointed he hasn't gone novice chasing. Arkle 2019 ? :D

Be careful Kev, second season hurdlers don't make very good chasers :highly_amused:;)

Haha, the 5yo campaign for these juvenile's doesn't count :devilish:
 
Any idea what the plan is for Crack Mome? Like Bunk Off Early was hugely disappointing in the Supreme, but he was quite highly thought of in the yard I was led to believe. The fact that he ran in the Moscow Flyer kind of backed that up. His hurdling never looked very fluent so perhaps chasing could be his game, decent size of a horse too.
 
Speaking of entries
....
Finians Oscar entered in the Henry VIII at Sandown this weekend... must have the Arkle in their minds still

Looks a cracking little race with current entries, no doubt one or two will pull out before the day though!

Same race Altior won last season, and Henderson goes there with Brain Power, if anyone was still in 2 minds about which one of his is his favoured Arkle fancy.

I imagine Finians Oscar will be the one that isn't there tbh.

Brain power, Capitaine and North Hill Harvey all intended to run... a convincing win from BP he'd have to go joint fav at least

Thinking about it, Skelton didn't seem to suggest NHH was up against anything other than Capitaine?

You'd be hard pushed to find a reason why he wouldn't be to be honest.

I'd back Brain Power in this race all day long. Wouldn't think of backing him at Cheltenham or at any other left handed track
