Bit of market confidence behind Ile Atlantique tonight and Majborough on the drift. Could just be market correcting itself as Maj was very short given what's he's done so far.
Think Patrick also gave him (Maj) the kiss of death earlier as well.
What the hell is Jango Baie's price so short for in the BANC already
Is that a joke
Best of the British novices now TJM is out. Expecting him to win well tomorrow too.
Thought his debut over fences was extremely good though, backed up by Springwell Bay since, although Dodgepot Potter has also let it down, unsurprisingly.

I was looking at him for the Jack Richards
Only checked the BANC to see if he was a wild price
9/1 NRNB and 12/1 best price, laughable
Being the best of the British by default is not good
I can't believe the price
I know he's a G1 winning hurdler but that is only because Farren Glory fell at Aintree, he was travelling all over him ... and Farren glory has no business in G1's ....
Sciliy Isles is more interesting for the handicap than Arkle or BANC for me. Wild.

There's a 16/1 wtaf currently on William hill in case that's preferable for anyone
Edit - for BANC to avoid any confusion with comments above

Not that I don't think he's decent by the way, purely a price thing
Even looking at Jango Baie Evens to win tomorrow and all at 12/1 NRNB
Farren Glory Handstands Kalif Du Berlais
All in the Jack Richards! 25/1
Probably not smart
and Springway Bay!

Aintree over 2 miles would be too sharp for him. Stepped up in trip back at Aintree he would have won by a mile without all the trouble in running and the yard were only just coming out of a torrid time as well. The sires best two horses were stones better over fences than hurdles. The progeny of the dams sire Kapgarde nearly always improve for a fence too (can’t wait for brighter days ahead). He achieved an RPR on his chase debut just one pound below Ballyburn achieved on his second chase run and imo jumped slicker than Ballyburn and comes away from his fences quicker and spends less time in the air than Ballyburn.
I think he’s an intriguing horse but a likely non runner unfortunately and anyhow will probably jump like a sack of proverbial tomorrow now I’ve said all that.
In between wtaf's for Meetingofthewaters and Kalif du Berlais
Oh yeah, my ctrl + F function doesn't seem to want to find it
Regardless, not something I'll be taking
Tempting myself with the above doubles though as tomorrow looks right up his street
I see DenmanSacre likes him as well for the potential step up and he's a decent judge so I won't crab the horse .... it was just genuine shock at the price, but it's not implausable, I over reacted a bit
and actually if I think about it logically there is a almost 0% chance he goes for the race unless he bolts up, so 9/1 NRNB is someething you'd be able to probably get out of
If beaten and he drifts for the Jack Richards though NRNB I'll be having a go

I backed him for the Arkle after his debut over fences as I thought he was too good for handicap, and more likely to go back in distance rather then step up. His jumping was very good,some of the best jumping the I’ve seen from a novice this season.
His trainer though says he’s not quite quick enough for 2 miles, so it seems he’s either BANC or the new handicap.
I looked at the BANC prices and thought also he’s too short, but will be interesting to be see how he does tomorrow.
My gut feeling is he won’t be seen at Cheltenham, and will be aimed at mid distance races going forward.
