    Far too early for the type of talk, even if he does win next weekend.

    • I dont think it is too early to be fair, between this race and the festival no one will be running a prep for the arkle surely and id very suprised at an english winner for it, so my assumption is the winner comes out of this irish arkle especially if most of em line up

        What happens if he wins by a short head? Not sure that would make him a certainty in the Arkle myself.

        • I still think there is more to come from Al Dancer and Brewinupastorm. Hopefully this seasons Arkle will be more genuinely competitive than last years but I don’t think Notebook is a banker even if he wins at DRF

              I'm negative on him and not sure a win at the DRF would change my opinion fully.

                Notebook has done everything right so far and it wouldn’t surprise me if he did win but I think there are a few in the market who will improve and put him under pressure

                  I dunno?

                  If he puts the Irish challenge to bed with a big win, hard to then start worrying about Al Dancer, unless you've backed him

                      You'll all be spewing when Al storms up the hill for a famous victory.

                          You won't though, will you!

                          Heard hundreds of people say it, even said it myself, and to a man they have all been betting again the following weekend.

                                He's not a bad angle at 25/1

                                I was against him when he was half that...

                                It's not unfeasible that I back him before Saturday.



                                Kind of hope Fanion D'estruval thrashes him though...
