  • With Ferny out it's more than likely going to be a bigger field then it would have been

      Hope so. Would love to see 16 novice chasers tearing around 2m on the ultimate test.

      • Hammer blow for me, but looking on the bright side...

        Arise Lady Magic Daze, the half-centurion to 1 wonder horse...

          Mixed feelings for me. As Ferny was my cover in case anything happened to Blue Lord, who was always the most likely winner...

          • Good lord, only just seen this. This race has turned into a real disaster for me. Even more annoyed with myself for not backing Edwardstone now....

                She's still available at 50/1 with B365 for those interested.

                • It is decided that Willie shall run only one in the Arkle, no matter his intentions.

                  • Magic Daze maybe the forgotten horse here and potentially good Ew value (50/1 available, General 33's). She's ran well all season in ground which she hates. On spring ground in March, back on a track where she's run her best race and trained by a 2 mile chaser specialist she could just surprise some.

                    • Riviere D'etel not a terrible price at 6/1 really, considering how close she was to Ferny last time. Might top up.

                        I'm old enough to remember the last time Alan King had a winner!

                          If I had to pick one from the field behind Ferny to win this it's her.

                          • She'll lose her age allowance for this though won't she... Doubt she'll find it as easy as she was first half of the season. Can't have her me.

                            Not sure I'll add any now to be honest... Assuming BL goes well at DRF, if running.

                              Or perhaps he could now aim Coeur sublime here as opposed to the grand annual?
