    A little bit of time today to have a nose around the markets and come up with the following: Old Park Star (Arkle) - Nicky's conversion rate since the turn of the Millennium from Supreme winners to Arkle winners is 100% (Shishkin & Altior) when they've gone chasing, and his general win rate in...

    Wouldn't bother me if he was up 40lbs with that lot :ROFLMAO:

    In my notes have that it was all very up in the air, said about him being 5 that he may stay hurdling, but nothing definitive.

    I wouldn't pigeonhole He's On Fire to the BANC, which is one of my other concerns with him (deciding which race to stick him in). Whilst he looked like he had a hell of an engine, he's also not looked short of speed and being by Chanducoq, the Arkle should be under consideration also.

    I'd be for He's On Fire who was very close to making the May Yankee. Will wait to see how @knockando wants to attack the June Yankee before offering up anything else.

    I'm going to call it now, as I'm not around much for the rest of the week. It was very much a split decision between Air Of Entitlement & He's On Fire, but the course & festival form is massive for me, so I'll be going with AOE on this occasion. Narciso Has (Champion Hurdle) Air Of Entitlement...

    You would be correct, them 3 are now locked in. It looks like it will be between Air Of Entitlement (Mares Hurdle) or He's On Fire (BANC) for the final slot, so get voting in the comments!

    I agree about there not being a hard rule for it, in fact I'd go as far as to say it's as much luck as anything else. Wouldn't be bothered if they were over hurdles as a juvenile or a p2p fence either though. Just off the top of my head, and there are probably loads of examples, but some high...

    2027 The Prices on Offer

    Not an expert, not by any stretch, but did have a look at previous Mullins winners of the race, the last one being Gala Marceau, who smashed Losange Bleu by 7 lengths, but she hasn't got her head in front since! Footpad & Diakali both won the race too, neither done much that same season, though...

    A few reasons really. Firstly I think connections may feel like they left a bit behind this season over hurdles and may want to see how far they can go with him. Secondly, JP seems to prefer a Champion Hurdle horse than an Arkle horse. Lastly, Willie tends to send his really good 'Doctor...

    Whilst I've not fully decided, it is likely I'll look for 4 bigger priced horses for this months yankee, so anything above 16/1 I'll take into consideration. I am with @Kautostar in liking both Jimmy Du Seuil for the Stayers & Narciso Has for the Champion Hurdle. Obviously the latter comes with...
