Arkle 2020

Does anyone know where Put The Kettle On is likely to run - is it here? Cheers

Might depend on how he gets on in the Irish Arkle?

He could feasibly be in the Close Brothers or Grand Annual too?


No, I don't know though is the answer to your question :highly_amused:
 
Has anything been said about Al Dancer after Saturday? I thought he did ok and maintain he'll be much better when he's in a strongly run race.

If he'd flew the last I think he'd have won.

Hopefully all roads lead to this race and I see him as a lively outsider.

We were talking about being married to our bets earlier today.
How many times does Al Dancer have to cheat on you before you get a divorce ?

or are you Nigel in disguise ?
Guarantee he'll be working better than ever the week before the Fez.

I'm very forgiving Q! :highly_amused:
 
:highly_amused:
I feel like one Al Dancers dirty mistresses!! I’m still fantasising about him riding me wild on March 10th!!
 
Big time hoping Bapaume runs in the Irish Arkle at the weekend & lays down a marker, backed him at 33s at all rates down to 16s before PK put him up in the weekender & Ruby starting talking him up. Just screams fast run 2m novice chaser to me - plus I’m a big fan of Melon going out in trip for Marsh so would support that project too - CB / Fakir should make it a serious speed test at the weekend.

Surely Al Dancer runs in the plate with the head gear back on? I’d half fancy him in that! Not this though!

It'll be interesting what rating he gets but I'd guess at low 150's.

In all seriousness, I do think there are reasons to believe that a strongly run Arkle would suit him down to the ground.
 
I wouldnt give up on the Fat Dancer just yet as I think he bumped into one at weekend , Mr Fisher will go close in Marsh Chase.

Dancer might not be Arkle material but maybe Grand Annual.
 
Al Dancer is not exactly well handicapped just yet.
150+ rated horse on the back of a betfair hurdle win against a total pile of shit. With one piece of sweetcorn inside (getaway Trump) who is even more badly handicapped.
 
He might actually get dropped tomorrow.
 
Looks like Pricewise has put up

Bapaume and Brewin up for this
 
Murphy has warned Brewin’upastorm is far from certain to make his first start after a setback in the Grade Two Kingmaker Novices’ Chase at Warwick on February 8.
The seven-year-old, who is as short as 10-1 for the Arkle at the Cheltenham Festival, has not been sighted since making it two from two over fences at Taunton in November.
Murphy said: “It will be touch and go if I have him ready for Warwick. I won’t be going there if he is 75 per cent.
“If I don’t get him there, he will have a run round in a novice at a little country track, just to get a bit more experience.”

14/1 would be shorter than any horse I've backed in it

and he DOESN'T have the best chance of winning



So 14/1 might be value for you, but with my book - it's clearly not?

Less than a week ago :highly_amused::rolleyes: - regarding Brewin
 
Only just signed up on this forum and wanted to mention some horses who I fancy for the festival.

One of my fancies was for the Arkle which is Annamix. I don't know if this horse has been underestimated or if its been overlooked.
The one thing I did notice on its run over its first run over fences was the horse kept jumping to the left. Which got me thinking because the Cheltenham course goes left which will help the horse even more. Plus a horse thats franked the form from that race was Chosen Mate who won the other day. Annamix was meant to be a strong talking horse a year back and it had setbacks. But now its run I thought the horse might improve more from the run. I've taken the 25/1 on skybet.

Welcome Nathaniel99999.... were the numbers 1 to 99998 taken? :witless:

If you would like a profile picture, send me a link in here please.... http://www.fatjockey.com/forum/showthread.php?15532-Avatar-Profile-Picture-requests/page23


A few people definitely mentioned Annamix after he won last time but I'm not sure anybody backed him.



He'd lack the experience for me with only 1 run, but I can see the appeal with NRNB. If he runs again and wins, he'll probably shorten, and if he doesn't run again, or doesn't win...then he's unlikely to be on the boat...
