Arkle 2019

I don't remember Min, Douvan or Yorkhill getting champion hurdle entries during their novice chase campaigns either ( I could be wrong).

Perhaps it's because they are running out of time without CE and it is a safety net.

Exactly, as i said- if he runs next weekend, falls, they are probably going to draw stumps with chasing i'd suspect. Or if he jumps like a donkey.

Or if they don't get him over fences at all, which is the point I was trying to make.
 
He would be my biggest winner of the fest Im obsessing!!! lol
 
I've still got that festival on my sky planner but I don't think I'm ready to watch it again. It'll be 5 years ago in March.
 
It’s actually a fascinating race, WW jump at the last and the speed he goes away from it to draw level is phenomenal
 
They've watered all summer at Gowran Park. Going is yielding, yielding to soft in places with rain forecast.
 
Ground at Gowran -
- Looking ahead to possible ground conditions, Scally told RTE Sport: “Our ground is currently yielding, yielding to soft in places. We are expecting rain tomorrow (Friday) – we could get up to 13 millimetres – and after that the forecast is mixed with more rain likely.”
 
10 days? Well at least back in time for the DRF haha ��
 
Arctic Fire is entered up in the same race as Cilaos Emery
