Yeah I can't see Arctic Fire running. At the 2015 festival he was rated 154, he's gone up since then, so I'd imagine he'd be giving the field a hell of a lot of weight, trends/stats give him no chance, the last 11 winners have all been rated between 130-140. Though same connections did win it in 2015 with Wicklow Brave.
Willie has 7 entries in total for the race, so will be interesting to see who we are left with in a couple of weeks time.
Him and Paul Nicholls seem to have a very good record in the race since the turn of the century, winning 7 of the last 16 (43.75%) renewals.
Edit: Renneti interests me, but currently looks to have a too high a rating based purely on the trends/stats for it.Last edited by ComplyOrDie; 23 February 2017, 03:13 PM.

Will need to wait for the Irish horses to be given marks before making any decisions on this, but as some have mentioned the last 11 winners have been rated in the 130s so that should help rule some out for now for win purposes. I know a few fancied North Hill Harvey but he'd be a massive trends buster to win off 149 and there's a few of the Irish who are likely to be around that mark based on their Irish marks - Ivanovich Gorbatov and Renetti. I'm not saying it's impossible for anything in the 140s to win, but it'd be a massive jump for something in the high 140s to do so.
