  • He’s definitely qualified. The criteria is a minimum of 2 runs in chases, one of which requires a top 4 finish over a distance 2 miles 7 1/2 furlongs.

    • So once someone shares that with Willie, he may have a different view of whether NR goes for the 3mile 6er!

      • I think he plays daft sometimes Willie. Either that, or hes showing early signs of losing his marbles

        • Clearly the NHC has not been considered for him before based on those comments.

          • Looks like Iroko has ben taken out of the Arkle, but left in the Turners, assuming Betfair/PP/Bet365 are correct on Oddschecker.

            • Corbetts Cross looks to have been taken out the BANC & Turners, but left in the NH Chase only now.

              • It really does surprise me how quick the Mcmanus team are to narrow down their options.

                • It's surprising for sure, but I don't mind it at all.

                    Yeah, it's kind of good for punters, aside from them not telling us yesterday
                    Just need to be wary of them.

                    Looks like No Flies and Mystical both still hold the 2 entries.

                      JP getting on early with a few doubles and trebles!

                        Thank fudge for that....

                        • Arkle - In The Pocket (Supplemented)
                          Turners - Iroko
                          Browns - Fact To File
                          NH Chase - Corbetts Cross

                          We thinking this is the most likely outcome? In a normal year I'd say ITP & Iroko wouldn't be going to the festival and would have very little hope after one run, but this season I think it's a 'Why not' thought, and I'm on board with it. Iroko is still a big player in the turners IMO, especially if FTF does go Browns. I know he didn't beat much on his chasing debut but he hacked up, jumped well, and you know he goes well fresh, very much an each way player and wouldn't suprise me he if he scooped the win!

                          • There’s a few people I know with an obsession with Inthepocket being a top horse. He hasn’t one piece of form to suggest he could win a Cheltenham Arkle. Hes a grade 2 horse, never mind the fact he’s had a crap prep and 1 chase start. He can be easily dismissed for the festival this year whether he turns up or not

                            • The McManus scratchings were pretty surprising (to me) and presumably not arrived at just last night. Still trying to work out what I think it means..
                              Either JP is happy for FTF to go to either and let Iroko take his chance or he is being helpful to punters and laying out a game of join the dots:
                              Turners Iroko
                              BANC …..
                              NH Chase Corbetts

                                That made me laugh out loud. Get off the fence, why don’t you?
