Arkle 2019

[Viking Flagship]

Getabird lines up on Sunday over 2m

[Old Vic]

Nice to see DDS still interested ...is it a bit too obvious to claim it is a form boost for Lalor ?

You can claim what ever you want .
Dosent look a difficult task for lalor tomorrow but one form line i expect to be reversed is that of dingo dollars and highway one o one . The latter gets his ground tomorrow.

Not obvious at all OV. Im claiming it! Think he will annihilate them tomorrow.

[Kevloaf]

Anything but an authoritative victory for Lalor would be disappointing after the impression on debut.

The only thing I found to knock his debut win was the form may look stronger than it was - but DDS has won a nice race today so with that niggle looking weaker, should win tomorrow and win well if he's going to be winning an Arkle.

[ComplyOrDie]

The one I expect to improve tomorrow is Pingshou.

11/1 is fair for tomorrow and would be my e/way play.

Diakali should set it up for the closers as he will likely tear off out in front. If they can't reel him in we won't be looking at the Arkle winner that's for sure.

I think the better pace will play to Pingshou's strengths and he almost certainly needed that run after 572 days off the track.

I'm hoping for an improved display from Pingshou tomorrow should improve from his first run for 18 months and the fact they've pitched him in another strong race instead of finding an easy novice chase is hopefully a sign he's showing a lot in training.

Couldn't agree more and you just beat me to the punch.

Lightening dosent strike twice
Highway one o one on this ground is half decent.

If lalor is the horse people think he is .this is a no contest. Needs to be winning this hard held to have a chance of winning the arkle.

I wouldn't have him for the Arkle even if he somehow managed a win tomorrow. Certainly not as keen on him as DDS today, but at the prices he is the direction I'm looking.

I see there are some worries if it turns heavy from lalors camp, just rewatched the last race and still impressed with the manner of the victory. Definitely think pingshou will get closer although noticed he has only ran on soft once, could be a tough ask with the horse still coming back from a big absence if the ground ctoninues to get worse.

I’m there tomorrow so hopefully will see an exciting race

I don't like Pingshou.

At the start of each festival, my phone is beeping with texts from "once-a-year" friends that ask me for Cheltenham tips .

Pingshou 50/1 - Good name (Funny and sounds a bit like Pingu), good colours (easy to spot), decent trainera nd mjuch more seriously, form to say he could be involved at a price - COmbined with the fact you're loathed to tip up 'Melon' who was obviously the one I was keenest on but you can't tip a fav to your mates or tell them you're on at 20/1 when he's a short priced fav..... so the reply goes "Pingshou should out run his odds. Back him each way"

His SP was only 25/1 but I'm sure he was bigger that morning... anyway, we all know he came nowhere. The winner being an outsider himself didn't help.

That is all fine, it isn't like I was getting any abuse but the injustice is that he bolts up at Aintree in the Grade 1 on his next start, (without me backing him!!!!) nobody any the wiser that the tip was probably pretty good and could have won everyone a good few quid.

I thought I'd try and get back on speaking terms with Pingu, so I backed him for the Champion Hurdle the next season trying to rekindle our relationship.... ruled out within a week of me placing the bet


Chances of him ruining chances of my 33/1 shot tomorrow? Higher than you'd think

[ComplyOrDie]

More Voix Du Reve form today as Hardline wins in Ireland.

That one was stuffed by VDR.

Also more encouraging on lines through Ornua today who stuffed Lalor but beat by DD.

[Scooby91]

We can safely say the chelt form was worth nothing. How he was made fav I'll never know.
Ornua is bang average.

[ComplyOrDie]

Bubble....burst!

Wouldn't surprise me if they miss the festival now in favour of Aintree.
