One of the stable tours tomorrow, Mullins will name drop The Arkle for Elixir D'ainay, but also mention that he could go further.
Pleasing, very pleasing. Can't wait for him to get out there!
Eighteen Thousand Posts.
JP has two or three potentially for the Marsh already, and not an awful lot for the Arkle, except Unexcepted, so I personally think it will be Arkle for him.
Just topped up a little on the 33's with cash out.
I think Frank Berry will decide on their horses as opposed to the trainers, in this case, Willie.

I don't think Unexcepted is going to be in the same league as Elixir D'ainay... but one has been out and done the business, the other hasn't yet ... so I can't be too brash.

I don't disagree with you at all. Which is one reason why I backed him any race and a smaller bet for the Arkle which I can currently cash for profit.
Just can't see Elixir D'Aimay going anywhere but the Arkle should he make it. Unexcepted may be one for the Grand Annual.
Can we realistically see NH letting FR run against Shishkin ? I'm assuming before long we might see FR stepoing up in trip, so could the Marsh Chase for FR be the way to go here ?
Not a lot of love for Pileon on here ? Form lines with FJ favourites The Bosses Oscar, Five o'clock, Chantry House, Great White Shark.....Column of Fife (Shhhhh). Will do well to win first time over fences tomorrow against 3 chase winners but if he does, he has to fit in somewhere in the Fez jigsaw no ?? I backed him very early TWAR and he's the only one of interest for me tomorrow.

Do you trust Phillip Hobbs to get him there and win a race?
Not seen anyone at all mention Andy Dufresne for anything?
He did actually BEAT Captain Guinness, and Captain Guinness made it into the majority of people's plans.
Whilst everybody acknowledged CG will be better as a chaser, Andy Dufresne was kept back from Cheltenham with a view to this season in mind.
Easy to knock him, but anyone interested?
He's in the notebook, I'm just not sure where he fits in currently.
The form of beating Captain Guinness is noteworthy, but since then he himself has fallen & PU, now obviously we can't hold them against him, but we have no substance to the form except Andy Dufresne was disappointing on his next start.

Yes one I want to get onside, he had a bit of a rep last season but never reached the hype. I've a small gamble on him for Arkle but not so sure if he will go that trip or good enough yet for the Graded race, but intrigued what he can do over fences.
On my list too. I get the impression they think he’ll be better over a fence than he was hurdles. I thought I read somewhere they would start off over 2m although I can’t remember where so don’t attach too much weight to that. It’s as much guessing how JP’s horses will be spread. Perhaps something like....
