Most top novices should have the potential to have a higher ceiling to their future form, particularly with Grade 1 races coming up at the spring Festivals.
Notebook and/or Cash Back could easily put up their best runs of the season in the Arkle.
Wa taking neutral natural improvement of the two for example I’d lean towards Mullins sole Arkle hope! Especially with soft going!
It’s also Saturday night after a dismal 6 nations performance by Wales so my alcohol consumption combined with an emotional mudslide of having backed Master Tommyfucker, Just A Sting and Keep Wondering should be taken into consideration when responding on my behalf. I will probably have a change of mind and heart when sober in the morning

We are going to Cheltenham with him, but we haven’t decided between the Arkle and the Marsh just yet. All the rain that is around at the minute will be a big help to him. It was a real pity not to get a run into him at the Dublin Racing Festival, but we thought it was best for the horse not to risk him on the ground. We’ve been delighted with all of his runs over fences so far and would be happy to have another go at Notebook if we end up in the Arkle. Wherever he goes, he’s our best chance of the week.
But been getting weight all year until the big day. Can’t see him winning either race but say he’d have more chance in the Arkle than the Marsh imo.
Have to agree with that hes had his chance to beat notebook, certainly wont do it in the arkle without the allowances
As a notebook man im more worried about cash back as he only has a length to find, having said that it was notebook finishing stronger of the 2 at DRF

Notebook bolted before the Cash Back race....and still won.....if he gets to start ok, then has to have huge chance

I think they went a real lick in that race and still finished off. The jumping was pretty spectacular. I think slower horses who either sit in behind or can't go the pace are going to be a bit disappointed if they are expecting the pace to totally collapse.

What actually happened with notebook at DRF? I saw comments on here but didnt physically see it..people have drawn some confidence from it aswell oddly enough!

Horse bolted before race....went wrong direction and ran couple furlongs.....Jockey managed to pull him up, so not as bad as many....but def cost energy......and then won
At Cheltenham, believe there are plans to prevent this, so in theory gives him some more lengths over Cash Back
Cant see British horses as good as those 2 and Fakir has pounds to make up now.....so Notebook still for me
On the face of it you'd have to have Notebook ahead of Fakir Doudaries but I'm hearing plenty of positive noises on the latter, may be he's showing plenty of improvement at home...

JOB said it's his best chance of a winner all week.

Yeah, and Ruby, Gavin Lynch among others have said he's meant to be flying at home. They think change of tactics will see him in better light against Notebook. Surprised the 6/1 (which can also be boosted) is hanging around.
Not surprised about the prices because on form he needs to find the best part of ten lengths. You could argue there should be a greater disparity. He was also a big disappointment when well supported at last year's Festival.
