Arkle 2019

How did knocknanuss run? I know he fell but I wasn’t able to see it and interesting to see how he was going before the fall? I thought he ran impressively against master Dino at fontwell who would have been one of the favourites for the jlt. Shame we know no more about him after today I guess.

He looked like he was running very erratically to me before the fall
 
LR was really good today, my bigger bet is on CE......if CE was to run in todays race I think id fancy him to do the same as LR.
Can anyone see past them 2?
 
Of the British think its reasonable to say that Dynamite Dollars is the best and does require to be in the conversation, the price is pretty fair also, he's already run to a level that would see him make the frame.
 
Even though I'm on Lalor at a big price and haven't backed DD at all, I don't really get why Lalor is the shorter price now.
 
Can’t have dynamite dollars, think if the real lalor turns up he’ll beat him easily like at Cheltenham
 
Fair enough, not sure id agree that Lalor will beat him next time, but we will get to find out. I think DD will be very tough beat in a strongly run Arkle. Had quite a few bets go down on this race but still got Le Rich and CE running for me, but I am worried about DD more than any other horse (especially cant have Kalashnikov as per post earlier in thread ive layed him at 6/1 on the exchanges, he is still a terrible price for this in my opinion at 7/1)
 
Agree re Kalashnikov. I think it’s between LR, CE and lalor
 
Common me fellow intelligent fat jockey members, that was a piece of jumping perfection, LR was outstanding today, obviously got to show it at mecca and I have to admit that this could me an Achilles heel, hence why I think Kalashnikov or Lalor and the big dangers, but a bit of perfection works for me.
 
I am 100% still in Lalors camp...he as always looks much sharper in his work after the turn of the year...nothing new there. And whilst I do believe the Aintree course will always bring out his absolute best...I strongly think as long as he gets to Cheltenham in one piece he will take all the beating. Le Richebourg was impressive again today and could be the one to chase him home.

Kalashnikov will not win this as long as I'm breathing. If I die before March 12th, he still won't win.
 
Should be an exciting race, if I had to pick one of them it would be CE because he’s only run once he hasn’t had the chance to post performances like LR but I’d be pretty confident that he can. He was rated the best over hurdles and he looks to have taken to fences, he can travel over 2 miles and finds off the bridle......I’d hope he’ll continue to be a decent price for a while so I can keep topping up.
Might do a few acca’s With both LR and CE....
 
Yeah, mine is.

They'll surely go NRNB this week?!
