Felix Yonger declared for the Irish Arkle, Champagne Fever to wait for the PJ Moriarty in 2 weeks time.
Really difficult to know which horses will line up. I’ll take a chance on Baily Green, 2nd in the Arkle last year.
Baily Green 1pt e/w @ 25/1 SkyBet
Bobs Worth is one of my favourite horses in training and has done me a lot of favours, none more so than last year so I can’t desert him now. I would love to see him surge up the hill in March.
2pts win Bobs Worth @ 9/4 with Betfred.Nicholls in his Betfair column: "(Jacob) has never given me the impression that he was mad keen to ride Big Buck’s if he had then he could have been on the horse in the Cleeve Hurdle. End of Story."

It is going to be some Champion Hurdle if they all turn up. Ruby post-race on Un De Sceaux: "If he was to turn up, I don’t think The New One will need a pacemaker".
Felix Yonger has been cut into 8/1 in some places, Mullins was hinting that Champagne Fever could go for the Jewson or RSA but as always it’s a guessing game when it comes to his Cheltenham runners. Hope Felix Yonger goes for the Arkle as I’ve backed him and I think he will. If so, he’ll take a lot of beating.

Rich Ricci with some interesting points on Annie Power.
Same Difference and Victors Serenade for me, both at 14’s each way. Same Difference has been below par in his last 2 runs but I think he has a great chance if returning to near his Kim Muir level. Victors Serenade has a tendency to jump left and has only ran twice in the last 2 years, but I could see him getting in the shake up around here.
I have the feeling that Cue Card’s connections are still intent on running him in the Gold Cup, likewise First Lieutenant. Al Ferof also appears Gold Cup bound as he is entered for the Denman Chase. Hard to know with Dynaste, not sure what the latest is regarding his injury in the King George.
With these 4 in the top 5 in the betting, this could make the Ryanair a very open race and I have backed Marito at 20s after 2 promising runs this year in getting within a length and a quarter of Hurricane Fly over hurdles and beating Roi Du Mee over fences last time out. Also was going OK when falling in the Jewson last year. The 20s have long gone, as short as 12s in some places, I think he has a cracking e/w chance.New on here and it’s The New One for me 2pts win @ 7/2 sportingbet.
Sorry Denman, missed your post.
Welcome to TRF and good luck in this.
No worries. Looking like the bookies believe Un De Sceaux is the Pricewise horse.
New on here and it’s The New One for me 2pts win @ 7/2 sportingbet.
It’s looking like the race of the festival and if Annie Power turns up (I think the owner would love a shot at it) one of the best Champion Hurdles in a long time.
