Arkle 2020

I've added Fanion D'estruval @ 16/1. Doubt I'll add anything else now with Melon, Fakir D'Oudaires and Notebook all on side at big prices.

I don't think the form of his win LTO is anything special, but he looked good and I'd be kicking myself if I didn't have him in the book. 16/1 with cashout seems relatively straight forward.
 
Just found PP have a special today

Fanion D'estruval to win today and the Arkle

25/1

Bosh.
 
Al Dancer at 50/1 the same double might tempt some people too?

It's tempting me but I'm in defensive mode after yesterday!

i"d be suprised if His price wasnt bigger after today,.I've backed Melon the last 2 years and iv always waited until mid feb to do so, he's a stuffy horse over the winter months and is 0/5 in Dec and feb...i'd wait before backing him, ive had 28s with him last 2 years.

That was over hurdles though. Think he'll be a different proposition over fences today especially with his LTO form being franked yesterday. I think he'll win cosily and go around 6's for this.
 
Oh my goodness, has Melon just won a battle after the last? :highly_amused:



That doesn't win an Arkle does it?

I'm on, but just naaaah?
 
Better from Melon IMO. Given he absolutely clattered that final fence, to go on an win is good enough for me at this stage.

Better in the Spring isn't he :highly_amused:

That's what I'm pinning my hopes on anyway

Yeah, I guess.

Halved in price.


Fanion D'estruval is the only potential star now for this division?

Think we saw the star yesterday but no one else thinks so it seems.

By process of elimination, looks like you're right :highly_amused:
 
I won't be ruling out Rouge Vif after that just needs some better ground. Good performance from the winner but on a track he likes. Arkle market starting to take shape surely Notebook should be a lot shorter than 6s

Enough for me too. No mistake and he wins by 3/4 lengths. Did his job and showed the will to battle! Which was nice to see

No ones giving Notebook the credit he deserves one bit, by far the one to beat and will take a good one to get past him
