Arkle 2019

[Kevloaf]

If anyone wants to feel better:

Laurina (2.5), Melon(2.5), Draconien(7), Cilaos Emery(7.5), Chacun Pour Soi(3), Getabird(2.5), Mengli Khan(2.5) have me at -28.5 pts to start this race

Left with...21 pts live on: Le Richebourg, Lalor, Paloma Blue, Duc Des Genievres, Hardline, Slate House and Voix Du Reve would all see me in the green with 50+ pts each return (plus any each way return)

Losers would be:
Glen Forsa
Kalashnikov
Defi Du Seuil
Ornua
Knocknanuss
Us And Them
Pravalguna
Anything else that runs


Stark contrast to my position in last years Arkle that's for sure

[Stormez]

God I’d forgot about draconien, seems like years ago! Deja vu!

RUK interview with Mullins he said he got a text from vet, almost certain he said it was a fracture!

Paloma Blue looks a gift to take this race. Nothing to worry about with the opposition at all.

I think he would if he could jump, he'll lose lengths at his fences. I wouldn't personally have him in the first 3

Have you not watched his jumping?

Say what now?


I don't think Paloma Blue has any form in the book to justify him winning an Arkle?


He might not worry about the opposition, but they sure as shite aren't worried about him

[DonnyBoy]

Have you not watched his jumping?

Yes I've no worries on that front, none at all.

No worries? You trust Henry has sorted it then? His jumping has been terrible so far.

[Big Chac]

Really?.....he's awkward at nearly every fence. If he's your pick though then good luck to you.

Pure talent will be more than enough on the day. Very confident

[boopa]

Sorry but you can't win an Arkle jumping like that not a chance in hell. He has got an engine though.

[Istabraq]

This has the makings of a weak renewal so widening the search is necessary, delving a little deeper than the obvious candidates might well prove beneficial....

Where have you seen the talent though?

He's not shown it yet in any race, in his whole career?

It's all about on the day itself, Kevloaf. The horse isn't ground dependant and has a huge engine.
