Henry de Bromhead tells us from Punchestown that Arkle favourite Notebook is likely to wear earplugs before his race at Cheltenham
Not surprising after leopardstown
The Cheltenham crowd could get him buzzed up
Interesting to see how he goes to the start
Obviously a very good one to bolt before leopardstown and still win

Shame about Melon, still think he’d have run a big race on the day. Can’t have him in the Marsh at all but that’s why Willies the master and I am not!

"Cash Back is going for the Racing Post Arkle Novices' Chase. He reminds of me of Un De Sceaux because he has that style of racing and training. He is a horse who gets on with it at home; he just loves to run and jump. This is the sort of weather I would like for him. If there is soft ground or heavy in the description, I will be very pleased. We like to think our horses can improve going into Cheltenham. Notebook will have had more experience than us. Our fella is gaining in experience whereas Notebook might have got all he is going to get. That is my hope. Cash Back's attitude is why he reminds me of Un De Sceaux. He has a great attitude to race. He has the never say die attitude.
Didn't read anything but surprising they kept him in this and the Marsh.
Al Dancer scratched from the Marsh, hopfully his name is missing from the GA entries today - I'm going to keep banging the Al Dancer drum
Quick line in today’s RP saying he’ll (Bapaume) go either here or Marsh. RR mentioned he burst in an interview post his race at DRF. Given the amount Willie seems to have potentially for the Marsh I’m still vaguely hopeful he’ll show up here in a small field & run far better. Never like them post bleed though. I think Mullins was fairly low key on RR horses because he openly admitted he’s not sat down & discussed things with him yet...

Did he bleed?
Didn't say anything on RP or on the HRI stewards report.
