                  Yeh he's going well.

                  But even so what do you even take him on with?
                  IET and Hunters Yarn the two horses Paul didn't even consider to ride because he knows what he has in GW against those from homework
                  FAF who IET has beat
                  Quilixios who has done nothing over fences in any decent company

                  I think your getting a great price with a horse head and shoulders above these ability wise and with proper graded form.

                    Every part of me wants to say he has no chance, but I know how silly that would be to say about a Willie mullins favourite. And it don't look the best Arkle so he has to have a chance I suppose.

                    They seemed to think he was a three miler a while ago and I'd say they were probably right, but got notions about him being faster than he is. If they ride him from the front and try to use his jumping in the arkle he likely dives right at every fence and loses a lot of ground. If they drop him in away from the pace to get cover on his outside then they're riding him for a turn of foot that I don't think he has.

                    But I'll have to cover him anyway so if my eyes are lying to me then I'll get some sort of small return on him

                      Wow!! Fascinating stuff, love it
                      But no bother with left handed?

                        We'll see Tuesday but Willie thinks the fences this season makes him jump a lot straighter than hurdles ever did , lot of people seem to just think fences make a horse going right worse but they have always been of the opinion a lot of horses who do that over hurdles that over a fence should be better for a few reasons
                        They thought FTF was more right than him at Lep too and If you watch the ballymore he didn't go right at all really either

                        Obviously he's drops off a few pounds going left and better right but he ran a stormer in the Ballymore didn't he, if he reproduces anything like that what would be beating him here

                          Its the great thing with the Supreme and Arkle this season, two proper open races especially the Supreme if any of 7 or 8 won it would be no surprise , proper competitive races on the track and betting wise

                            He didn't jump as far right at leopardstown as I was expecting

                            and hes comfortably the best horse in this race

                            If he was 2/1 I'd be dead against him but he's nearing 4s on the machine which is getting tempting

                            I could be tempted by a distance bet as I can see him either struggling or winning on the snaff

                              That’s what I think.

                                Thank you very much, very interesting reply and definitely taking it all on board
                                As for what would be beating him, I think the brits are being a bit ignored with JPR, but I have a feeling that Quilixios will do the business
                                Anyway we have a race to look forward to full of all sorts of different scenarios
                                Wish you all the best
