Arkle 2020

Heard a rumour Everton have spoken to Mark Hughes this week F_M

Surely that cant be true

You are surely winding me up

I saw race and he looked a really good jumper....but RPR 144 similar to last. Needs to improve, but i'm not so sure can trust ratings that much in weak races....and only needs say 10-12 pounds improvement to be live contender

Decent 3rd in Fred Winter off big weight and 4 years old form at Festival often comes back couple years later (usually Triumph i know)

I've added him with cashout for Arkle as like stable (been there and it a good ambitious operation).....but tend to agree maybe handicapper....just feels likely very open race again this year unless Laurina a star

I would have initially thought the same that possibly a handicapper but at 50’s will be worth a small play. Both performances have been really good albeit small fields but took care of ballymore on his comeback fairly easily. Definitely be worth seeing if he’s entered up in grade next time out and seeing how he fairs

For anyone interested I’ve just rang Billies again ( 3rd time )
The 11-7 shift didn’t put the price up but they’ve just confirmed the v unattractive 10/1 Any Race and
The Arkle 33/1

Laurina finally cut by 365, 9/1 from 14's, think they were reluctant to do so with cash out as an option

Interesting comments regarding Tornado Flyer

"He is going novice chasing and is one that could end up being best over two miles. He is out of a mare by Exceed And Excel that is a half-sister to Hurricane Fly, so there is plenty of natural speed there."

I shortlisted him for the JLT on that thread as I still believe he's a two and a half miler. I was the same last year where I only liked him for the Ballymore too.

Thomas Darby looks to have a real test on his hands tomorrow.

First flow, Summerville boy, and western Ryder, are all fringe graded horses over hurdles.

According to Olly he’s fairly forward in his work. More so than Brewin was anyway. He’ll have to be sharp over his fences to beat that field however.

Have requested with 365 for the Arkle

He looked anything but fluent over hurdles so I'd be apprehensive on how he'll adjust to fences.

A shame, as i wanted to see him in a competitive race, and this would have fitted the bill.
But he did say if it was soft 1st time up hed be pulled.

Think everyone will be the same mate, can see why if it’s that soft at uttoxeter.
Hopefully be another entry fairly quickly.

Olly on Twitter when asked about running plans: “Warwick next week”

[ComplyOrDie]

Nice start from Summerville Boy there, although looked to get outpaced on soft ground, pace of the Arkle would be a worry.
