      Vautour went on to win the JLT, not the Arkle though and Min never ran in either Novice Chase at the festival as picked up an injury.

        I diddnt mean that in regards to an arkle. More the quality of horse he has sent to this race in previous years.

        Vautour was never going for the arkle with un de sceaux around and his running style. Theres no un de sceaux in mullins yard this year unless chacun pour soi leaves all his French form behind him

          Ah OK.

          Very true. Time will tell.

          Owners have Sceau Royal as well, and seem to target the JLT based on previous 2 seasons, finishing 2nd this year and 2nd & 3rd the previous year.

            I like this as a guide especially for Mullins, absolutely is a creature of habit!

            They might try and put Jacob on Sceau Royal so they can win the race with Ruby on board

            Footpad having two seasons over hurdles doesn't seem to be putting anybody off?

            • Well ,. ! I missed out on the fancy prices on Footpad, forgot to do my bet yesterday in the excitement of W.hill doing a/p bets ,
              But i was going to put it in the J.L.T , so , do we think that the owners will run S.Royal
              and footpad in this race ? , or What ??

              • Wouldn't be a problem, they were both in the champion hurdle last year. And lami serge Bristol de nai both went for the jlt. I don't personally think he will run in the drinmore. Once they've sat down and had a look at it, With petit mouchoir on the side lines, He has a free run at the douvan/ min st Stephens day race Over 2miles. Then you may or may not meet petit mouchoir in the Irish arkle. You can make your decision on trip after that. That's where I'd expect he'll be going anyway.

                  2 mile novices weren't the best bunch last season and the best of them aren't going here. In a hurdle race. They'd have no chance against footpad/ petit mouchoir and likely brain power.
                  And the way the former 2 jump they don't look like regressing for a fence. Would be long odds against the arkle will be won by one of last years novices. And i include all last years novices in that.

                    Agree in the main, certainly don't care myself about the extra season over hurdles as I'd backed PM anyway... but this won't be the only season that the 'extra season over hurdles' horses are over bet and cone up short. We know them better, they're higher profile because of it and you'd lose money backing them.

                    Playing devils advocate mainly here, but I certainly think a polished performance at Cheltenham could see a new favourite after the Arkle trial

                      Who's entered up?
                      Sceau royal/ northill harvey, not sure if they would throw brain power in here. I don't think river wylde would beat those 2 and would scrape home If He did. Capitaine? Couldn't have him for an arkle at all personally.

                        Not checked. Hopefully FO or William Henry

                        Brain power of no interest in this race for me, hopefully doesn't come back to bite me

                          • Id give brain power a chance, hes keen and not sure he finds much at the end of his races in the very top grade. But if you were ew inclined which im not. You won't go far wrong with brain power ew in the arkle.

                              • I've been a big fan of Footpad since his novice days, but he's always one I've thought would want further? At the moment a tad weak looking but overall I'm a big negative on him over shorter
