December ‘25 Yankee

Now, if kopek has a sick note from matron and Romeo may not turn up for arkle, surely you’ve got to put Irish panther or Kargese in the mix .

If that happened I'd make Lulamba an absolute certainty. Really fancy him to win even with Kopek and Coolio.

I've held back on Lulamba purely on the "5 year olds don't win the Arkle" trend.
 
….with his Lawlors entry, maybe worth getting Sortudo (Turn) 16-1 onboard.
 
Just gathering a few thoughts now the bulk of the Xmas racing is done.

My fav ew bets would be:

Arkle Irish Panther 25/1
BANC Western Fold 33/1
Bumper Keep Him Company 16/1
Ryanair Heart Wood 50/1
Albert Bartlett Classical Creek 25/1

Notice the Classical Creek price is currently being nibbled at. Reckon he’ll go really well on Sunday and possibly be fav for the AB afterwards.

Re the bumper, was a strong field and he flew home, looked like he’ll love the hill at Cheltenham. I don’t think we will see three horses come out and put in a better performance before the Festival (might not see any).
