Arkle 2020

[Scooby91]

Happy enough for a 1st run. On to the next race with him.

They are all definite novice jumpers!! Good win by Al Dancer, I think he needs to improve but I think he will get better. I think Getaway trump will improve, didn’t have the race fitness to compete up the hill

 

[Craigy14]

Doesn’t look like it. Sometimes hard what to make of it on first run over fences but wasn’t a wow factor to ad and getaway definitely needs further

 

[jono]

More than happy with that. Couple of slight mistakes by Al Dancer but overall a good round of jumping on debut. Getaway Trump probably blew up a bit there

 

[Quevega]

Beating the 156 rated getaway trump who's the joint leader or 2nd fav for the arkle, who was crusing on the bit in the same challow where brewinupastorm was comfortably beaten.

not a good enough opener?

Should he manage to do so.

challow was falsely run and not a reliable piece of form.
Both Getaway trump and al dancer have unreliably high ratings based on good wins in poor handicaps.
Think they'll both struggle at championship level.

al dancer now 14-1 which is laughable.
bookies taking mickey.
and also noticed B365 screwing the cash out by going 33's on Trump.
interesting.

I'll assess things when I can watch the race back but nothing inspiring from the comments here.

“He’ll improve for the run and will stay over two miles for now. He’s got a lot of class.” -
Al Dancer.

The trainer also added Cheltenham’s November meeting may come too soon for his six-year-old and the Arkle is the long-term target.

 

[ComplyOrDie]

Happy enough with my trade of Al Dancer, it's a free cover bet now on the exchanges, although I don't think he'll be good enough.

 

[JackieMoon33]

Al Dancer backers can be happy with their position

Thought Getaway Trump jumped beautifully, travelled great, just looked to get tired there so wouldnt give up on him for the Arkle. I do wonder if he might get the famous PFN wind op, but thought it was a nice run considering he walks away with a 3 next to his name.

 

[ComplyOrDie]

Laurina cut by PP/Betfair today for the Arkle, what I expected to happen the other day, but better late than never.

Someone probably embarrassed them that they had Al dancer the same price.

 

[Saxon Warrior]

Good trading position for Al Dancer with any with Arkle 365 CashOut positions as JackieMoon said, which makes it a free hit at a Graded race next timeout for you, and still a full cashout price.
If it wins you can carry on holding the bet, if it loses and looks less than Grade 1 potential you can cashout. Great position to have.

As I said the other day Nicholls was very clear he had left trump plenty to work on. Happy enough with that fiddled a few but looked bang there turning for home

 

[billymag]

Unsurprisingly the great trainer taking only positives out of that run "Thrilled with his run , travelled well , jumped well as we thought needed run and as last season will improve from run to run . Lots to look forward too ."

I don't particularly like the horse but 33/1 is a massive overreaction. Jumped really well, cruised upsides and blew up.

Had a little each way at 33/1.

 

[Lobos]

No Arkle winner there

Ummmmmm a little premature maybe ??? GT will do for me. Well happy with today. Jumped great, travelled well and Looked the winner turning in and just let to come home in own time. PN horses always need a run. Will sluice up next time and go to favouritism.

 

[taylorch1990]

Just watched the race back Getaway Trump jumped well then made 2 mistakes at a bad time and definitely blew up after the last 33s is an overreaction in my eyes and I might have a little bit on. Al Dancer jumped a little sketchier for me but still won well 14s though a bit short now. Agree with others that I was expecting a bit more from both and neither look stars for the season.

 

[Muswell]

Paul was very happy and said he would either go for the Arkle trial or Henry VIII next

Basically, if you've backed either for next March you wouldn't cash out. If you hadn't backed them previously, you wouldn't be rushing to back them now either.
