A ridiculous race, as pointed out by others, with the exception of Jonbon, it's as good as the Arkle itselfOriginally posted by charlie View Post

It's going to be better than the Arkle at the festival. Willie will only send 2 maybe 3 from this lot. Here we have 5 Willie form lines converging. Awesome. Add in Fil Dor and Banbrdige ... wow.Originally posted by charlie View Post

Agreed with all of the above
Better than the Arkle as there are so many question marks. The winner of this will likely bet the match bet for March against Jonbon
Its a minefield through in terms of a having a confident in, but so looking forward to itComment

Wow this declared field is some treat and whoever beats who up here Jonbon will be chilling in his box
Tactics will be fascinating seeing Danny will be on Dysart Dynamo who we know will get on with things but Flame Bearer will also want to be up there.
Appreciate It should get a lovely toe into the race if just sat in third or so and it could be set up nicely for him depending on how his jumping hold up with the strong pace.
Ill predict Appreciate It will win with Saint Roi and Fils Dor at good prices fighting out the places staying on with Dysart fading.

They must be devastated!
If AI ended up in Turners and won I'd be a happy camper as financially it doesn't make much difference for me.
But its the clash with Jonbon I want!

Jonbon clashes with Constitution Hill last year ....
Will be a distance 2nd in the Arkle too?
Only messing. Same for me. As long as one of Willie's win this race!Comment

There is no doubt whatsoever in the jockey's mind as to who is top of the pecking order.
"Appreciate It; definitely Appreciate It," said Mullins, when asked which of the five he would ride if given the choice. He added: "In fact, if you offered me one horse to ride during the whole weekend in any race it would be Appreciate It. He's just the whole package. He's very, very good. He jumps so well and he's such a good ride too, the others might not be as straightforward to ride as he is."
Fair to say Patrick is pretty confident AI wins the Irish Arkle then...Comment

We should have a really good pace in this.
I know some posters are happy about Danny being on DD as he is a master at the front but he won't be able to get a breather in to DD in this race. Flame Bearer could end up leading here and ensuring a strong gallop throughout and you'll have Appreciate It, El Fabiolo and Banbridge all wanting to be somewhat prominent.Comment

Given the support EF is taking today I think win today and at Cheltenham 20/1 is fair.Comment
