    Yeah, if they finish as close as they did last year at the DRF then he may send two or three to the Arkle.

    I think he has a better quality group of horses this season though.

      And to think the trend once was him sending just one horse to the Arkle.........

      Was a bit easier punting then !!!

      Impossible race to predict. Too late now though....we are already invested !

      Let it all unfold.

        Haha yeah, indeed.

        I'm firmly in the Dysart camp, myself, however I'm under no illusions that it will be an easy race, not by any stretch.

          I'm firmly in the Dysart, El Fabiolo, Banbridge, Jonbon and Saint Roi camp

          Appreciate It can sod off

            You and charlie won't be best mates then

            • Initial betting with 365 is AI 2/1 (was evens with some bookmakers earlier in the week), DD 9/4, Banbridge 6/1, El Fabiolo 13/2, Saint Roi 9/1.

              I’m finding the El Fabiolo price to be a bit of a surprise given how close he got to Jonbon at Aintree. Yes his jumping was a bit novicey, but surely that’s too big?

              • AI at odds against is a bet for me, especially if Townend is on board. I've got him pretty clear of the rest. I wouldn't be sure DD or El Fabiolo would beat Banbridge on good ground and I'd have El Fabiolo ahead of Dysart.

                Maybe laying DD would be the play.

                  I'll have to back him on the day if he's there. Be silly not too. Hope he gets beat Saturday though to save me some ammo

                    I'll just be watching the race. Definitely not a race to be betting on. Wouldn't be surprised if it were run to suit Saint Roi. Can see him picking up the pieces. Personally think AI jumping will be too slow and put under severe pressure by pace set.

                    • Really interesting, as I have DD ahead of most of these

                      El Fab looks like he want a little further, and was novicey first time out. This will really test his jumping
                      AI - dunno, probably the toughest here but there were plenty of questions whether he was a 2 miler as a novice hurdler, he's now 9
                      Banbridge jumps well, but this is a step up.

                      I thought DD jumped the best out of his novices this season. Front running, will be able to get into a rhythm. I guess I may be over looking his hurdling fall and subsequent performance at punch.

                      I may just wait until they jump the first two and then bet in-play

                            I can roll with a punch

                            Its an absolute cracker of a race!! I can't remember looking forward to a race this much for a long long time.

                            I really hope there are no hard luck stories and we genuinely sort the WPM pecking order out once and for all!

                            I hope Appreciate It crushes souls though

                            • Good to have a race where people's opinions vary so much. Even better that it will be hopefully be resolved before Cheltenham so we have some sense of pecking order going into it.

                              • FWIW I'd prefer Danny Mullins on Dysart Dynamo.

                                Danny on a front runner
