Arkle 2020

Reminds me of un de sceaux old cash back

same, always going to chance a few. Hopefully gives Notebook a good tow in the arkle, have both at big prices. Probably done for this race now
 
The Arkle could set up for something off the pace this year Cash Back, Fakir and Notebook all like to be up front so there gonna go off very fast. Could really suit Brewinupastorm (who I haven't backed)
 
Yes winner did it well and suppose given the lack of the superstar or 2 may have a chance.

TF definitely needs a step up in trip, couldn’t go the pace.

Step forward Melon. As you say, the race will be set up for him perfectly.
 
Think I've nailed this race.
What could possibly go wrong ?

I would agree with that. I too haven’t got Brewinupastorm in my book but probably will when I know what he’s doing.

It’s a poor race and they’re going to be going off like the clappers. A strong traveller that picks up late would be my idea of the winner but I don’t know who yet.

I’d be interested in Mister Fisher here but he is surely odds on to be in the JLT

Perfect for Al Dancer........I'm being serious btw:encouragement:
 
Cash Back was good. Hard not to like front running 2 milers.

No form to really stack up yet but he is probably a bit under rated because of the owners, silly as that is.

Yeah thought that was a good performance by Cash Back. Looks slick over a fence and took 27/1 post race.
On a separate note Tornado Flyer was found to have a respiratory infection after the race

makes the 50-1 with hills tempting for those not already on.
the Marsh chase looks a little open at the minute.
 
They’d be favouring this for brewin’upastorm over the JLT surely? A hard paced 2 miles looks perfect.
 
I was really impressed with Cash Back... has the look of a real improver and I've added him at 16/1 with the cash out.

If he had different owners he'd be shorter...

He's growing on me too - but I can't help thinknig that's because they're all a bit pants.
 
He has been given an Irish OR of 153, so close to 160 in UK :witless: Take a good one from over the water to beat him based on that.

Warming to him myself. Arkle's tomorrow Townend still rides Melon though right?

He'd be daft not to, unless Melon runs a stinker at Dublin.
Melon is a stone better at Cheltenham and he's actually won a race this year.
He'll get beat at Dublin though I reckon, so Townend might have a tough call (if he gets the choice that is)

As much as a Cheltenham horse Melon seems to be, he's still capable of winning a beginners at a different track without it being a massive plus surely lol. Agree though
 
He won't get the choice. :devilish:

Willie will pop him on the horse he got to place in a Champion Hurdle, for the same owners he won a Gold Cup for.


1/100 shot.




Willie will then place whichever Mullins boyo he wants on the others, I'd imagine Danny will keep the ride as he's the one that rode him last time.
