Dysart went a good enough clip to ruin his own race and still didn't really get el fab in trouble if you believe Jacob saying the error was his fault (doubt that info would be public if he'd been beaten a neck) so I'm not sure why you think DD can put el fab under pressure here?
DD my biggest winner in the race so I hope you're right but can't for the life of me see the logic in the thinking?
It’s a possibility with a front runner if he sets a good pace and jumps well , that he can get others at it, especially in a novice chase.
March May see the same outcome as Dublin, then again it may not. All horses should be primed for that day .
Going to be an exciting watch and nerve wracking!!

I don't think Dysart will win the Arkle but the thinking could be that the trip at Cheltenham is shorter (2m compared to 2m1), tighter track which helps the pacier, front running types and there's some fences at Cheltenham that could catch EF out (the downhill one and the 2nd last) if he doesn't improve his jumping.
We also haven't seen EF at Cheltenham yet but he seems balanced and that wouldn't be a concern for me.

It’s a different race on a different day and a different course to Dublin.
For me it’s simply….look forward to it.
Might be some opportunities on the day betting wise, but in the main my bets are done and all alive.
And one thing that o have learnt over the years, you can never be too confident of the outcome in an Arkle in February.
He won. He's fit and well. 2 horse races are always shit. Onto the Fez. Henderson is happy.
Henderson is putting on a brave face IMO, no way can he be genuinely happy with that. Jumped out to his right, headed by a 136 rated chaser and looked beat when headed. His class, and a poor jump from Calico, won the day but March will be a different parish of a test against some much better animals. The positive from today is he may have learnt something.

Yep, all about opinions, maybe the best part of this sport we love is the differing opinions we have,
I personally never thought he looked beat.
And I agree he at least learnt something, and I imagine so did connections.
Not sure whether Punters were lucky or unlucky today...
Imagine this was a field of 4 or 5, Haddox included. Jonbon could have lost today with that sort of performance
Honest question for those who thought that was a decent run, or a prep run. Would you back him after that at the current price?
