Arkle 2020

I can definitely relate to this, it's not healthy.

Thanks for the opinion too, at least if I do any race I can't cash anyway so no stress, I just lose :highly_amused:

The feeling behind the 'any race' was that if she takes to fences she will win and in no way is she going off bigger than 5's anyway. If she's crap over them then it's back over hurdles and I have a live bet, probably at poorer value, but a live bet all the same.

In a JLT, why would she certainly go off shorter than 5s?

She went off 5/2 for a Champion Hurdle that was way better than the potential JLT line up, after beating nothing beforehand!

If she did it will be The same reason she went off an abysmal price in the CH. Winning shocking races with ease.

I'll give it the benefit of doubt and see if she takes on the likes of samcro in the drinmore or melon... in the irish arkle.
But it's likely we've already seen how this plays out over hurdles.
 
Al dancer v getaway trump confirmed tomorrow in the novice chase after decs announced. 4 runner field made up by Caius Marcius of Nicky Richards (has to give them 8lbs too) and Not That Fuisse of Skelton.
Richards horse has built up a lot of experience already, 8 runs over fences since June. 4 wins and 4 2nds
 
Just cannot have Laurina has beat nothing to note abit like angels breath has a lot to prove for me to be backing her for anything

I think Not Too Fuisse will give both of these a good race along with Carius. He goes well on better ground and this time of year. As there are only 4 racing there is no E/W option so will be just watching but I couldn’t call it, a very competitive race to look forward too
 
I'd call Al Dancer to beat Getaway Trump and uphold the Betfair Hurdle form, but is a tricky little race overall.
 
Nice that from Brewin.
probably go up in trip but that was speedy enough and he was held up off what looked a decent pace. Ran on nicely, hill would help.
added 25-1 arkle b365.
 
I thought Good Boy Bobby jumped and ran well there as well as Brewin. It’s a shame there is still uncertainty as to whether the Rooney’s will run their horses at Cheltenham this season after stopping all their horses last season because I think GBB would have a live chance in the JLT. Anyone know if the Rooney’s are allowing their horses to at Cheltenham this season?

Think Brewin wants further than an Arkle ?

Not IMO.
see JLT thread.
but it's a close call and will depend on jockey trainer opinion more than us obviously.
 
Think GBB flattered by having a big fitness advantage over Brewin. If they met again at any point I would expect Brewin to dispatch of him comfortably

Johnson was very easy on Brewin, I thought, was still 8-10 lengths back at third last, asked him for a bit before 2 out and made up the ground really well despite the twiston horse looking sharp and fresh and jumping really nice.

As Olly Murphy said
More to come
Global a disappointment, ballooned a couple
Twisters are all running well , how much improvement is open to conjecture ( wow :-). Lol )
 
Although I’m slightly in the minority in being in the Getaway Trump camp for the Arkle, it is interesting that they’re pitching him first time up at Cheltenham. It’s going to be a tough race as Twisters always has his horses very fit on their seasonal debut so Al Dancer will be very competitive. Hopefully it will be a good race like today’s at Carlisle.
 
Nicholls says he has left a bit to work on but it’s a good place to start small field, good sight of the fences and has schooled well
