If Willie wins the flogas beating mighty potter I’d say the turners more likely for obvious reasons
This is how I'd see it. You'd probably want a Mighty Potter win, with JDB a staying on 2nd and GDM a staying on but not too close 3rd To see JDB pushed up the BANC and GDM the NHC.
El Fab staying on in the Arkle to cement this!
I know it's a Cheltenham forum but you're almost certainly better finding a bet at the weekend than guessing where they'll all end up even running at Cheltenham

Willie Mullins, whilst not saying it, seems to suggest on the Sportinglife, the order is Appreciate It number 1, El Fabiolo number 2 and Dysart Dynamo number 3, which is a brutal assessment from him for my Dysart Dynamo hopes

Betting for Saturday has no. 2 and 3 very much the other way around doesn't it. They do all seem clear on AI being number one though in everything your read!
Willie often ranks his horses according to what they've done, and not what they could do.
Stoic, through and through.
He often talks up his older horses more than the up and cummers that have yet to give him as many good days.
You'll need a rod capable of sharks calling Ramillies super
haha
Super is a stretch, but he's a player don't you think? I think recency bias has distorted our view of what wins the NHC. Lots of classier types flirt with the idea of going there but the eventual winner is more often than not a dour stayers who has course experience and jumps well. Enter the not so super, big Ram.

Fair play Charlie. It's down to you several of us took the 50's about him. Should GDM go BANC then he could go very short for the NHC. Great shout.

I did have him backed at a big price (I think, in no small part, down to you), but I just don't like him really and I ultimately cashed him out, although the cash out was because he had no entries, and not anything he had done or hadn't done over fences.
He is a boat, isn't he.
It's probably a strange thing to say, given the recent form, but I think I'd rather Ramillies run in the NH Chase because I think that would give Chemical Energy his best chance, and he's my biggest winner in the race. I know, I know, recent form has Chemical Energy well behind Ramillies, but that wasn't his true running, IMO, and was coming off a fair break and giving some weight away, so I can certainly forgive him that run.
If Gaillard turns up to the race then CE has no chance anyway, IMO.
Ramilles is currently second favourite for the NHC. He's just beat the third favourite convincingly.
Yeah I'm not sure what to make of Ramilies, didn't he have 5 bumpers ?
Good chasers should be sent over fences sooner and there's nothing in his hurdle career that screams G2 chase winner to me, it just strikes me as a slightly odd career path.
The Donnellys have City Chief for the NH Chase too, I wouldn't be shocked if that one turned out to be better than Ramilies, whether they'd run all three I have no idea...

City Chief.......so he is !! Proper spanner in the works Ista. He's running tomorrow as well. Trained by Henderson though who's record in the NHC is worse than mine.........he has come out before and said he bloody hates the race. That would put me off him a bit. Good spot though.

He made a horrible mistake on debut behind Gellino Bello at Exeter and of course that one is a G1 hurdle winner, he won at Hereford 2/3 weeks ago and could just be one who is taking time to adjust to chasing.
He really needs a stamina test so has only been entered in the NH Chase.
I’m still fairly sure GDM goes for the same race regardless of his performance this weekend, who goes there with him is fascinating…
