2026 Novice Chasers

The great kopek has usurped Lulamba on the exchanges.
Also noted that all the horses Lulamba has beaten are all 100/1 for arkle.
I thought he'd be a lot, lot shorter for the Irish Arkle than he is. Close to Evens on Exchanges.

Printing money!

Had a setback before this race didn't he, and it's a prep for the big one, so there's a chance he's slightly undercooked.

Still expecting him to win well mind...

Neither faced a half decent horse yet over fences
Both probably go to Arkle unbeaten, although I expect Kopek to have a tougher time in Dublin.
That experience could prove crucial for him?
Love it if we have the good old rivalry with unbeaten Irish v British!!

Has Kargese gone fav over Kopek on Exchanges for Irish Arkle?
 
Bit odd Gordon talking about getting her some black type, she's already won & placed at Graded level, I mean it doesn't matter if its fences,hurdles,bumpers, black type is black type, of course the more you get the better for a mare.
 
Scilly Isles been a decent prep for BANC in recent years. 3 winners in a row went there from 2021-3 finishing F12 at the Festival . Would fit in with splitting Robcour horses 🤔
 
Might be worth getting Kala Conti priced up for the BANC or wait for WTAF prices ?
