I think Notebook is be the worst favourite at the festival at the moment. I have a huge question mark over that form at Christmas and I'd like to see him repeat it at DRF before I'd be tempted to back him.
What was the last horse to win an Arkle with a hurdle rating of 135 or lower? I'm guessing it would be Western Warhorse - and he was 50/1!
He's priced on the win at Xmas though and that form could easily be a bit flakey.
If he backs it up at DRF then I'll be proved wrong and will have to reassess.
At least he isn't priced as if he's already won at the DRF though.
What prices have other ante post Arkle favs been at this stage? Last years was up in the air wasn't it.
I listened to Paul Kealy who is on the same lines as you withj Bapaume.... he said he thinks Bapaume beats Notebook easily and goes 6/4 Arkle fav after the DRF (guessing you heard that too?) Big shout!

Cash Back is half the price for the Irish arkle than Bapaume.
It's a big shout for sure.
Looks thoroughly exposed to me.
although a solid performance in the mid 150's might be good enough on the day with a bit of luck and a fair wind.

Hadn't heard that Kev - where is this at, wouldn't mind listening to it! I knew he'd put him up in the Weekender though.
Sorry I meant to say is priced up for Arkle but hasn’t jumped a fence in public and I’ve not heard chasing mentioned (but I have missed chunks of time recently)
