Backed altior a while back for it, still wouldnt be surprised though if min where to win, no question he has a massive task to overcome, but hes appeared so far like he will be a far superior chaser than hurdler…. great race
Big shout to say he could beat douvan, he would have to improve a fair amount to be considered for that, douvan seems to be something special, even with sizing johns win albeit over further, douvan regularly brushed him aside like he was nothing, altior hasnt faced that over fences
Id be surprised if theyll run neon wolf in This (i think hes looked the most likely winner so far) but they seem certain on further and with finians oscar form taking a hit today i think neptune is the more likely if any.
Decent prices about saturnas and chateu conti right now on nrnb, saturnas might go further but worth a chance, especially with both likely to have another run and with a few to come out of the betting yet, likely much much shorter if they line up on thenday?Unless someone can tell me there not running
Mullins comments were purely based on next season, unlikely much would be changed 7 weeks out, theyv targeted min for the arkle, ricci isnt going to give up a live chance in the arkle because there contemplating dropping a wylie horse in distance, if min were to run a shocker on sunday, maybe, highly doubt it
Just cant see him committing either to any other race, keeps mentioning yorkhill coming bsck to CH and is sliding in the factor that annie and faugheen are “getting on a bit” i think he wil run bith in the CH then retire them at the end of the season, vroum vroum to the stayers, limini the mares, yorkhill back to CH next year to fill the void
Well to say he isnt a monster is slightly off, if you compare thistlecracks career at yorkhills stage in his career, yorkhill is marketdly more successful
With limini on course for the mares and faugheen and annies preps coming so close to the festival, becoming increasingly more possible that both annie and faugheen will line up in this together if they make it, cant see faugheen going stayers after a 2m prep, cant see annie going mares if there sounding keen on limini at home they wouldnt target her all year for it to throw annie in over the top of her
Thoughts?
ricci said they are looking forward to having a crack at altior, due to the problems min had after the race previous, including the fact that min will be a far better chaser than hurdler, min would have to be injured not to run in the arkle, no chance he goes jlt and the only way yorkhill goes arkle is if min gets injured
Fact is yorkhill beat a 148 horse on the bridle by a decent distance jett is clearly a better chaser than hurdler which made yorkhills win underwhelming….. theyll be delighted with how he won given the errors.
Surely if you take the stance he isnt the best jumper then dropping him to the arkle would be suicide given the likely tempo of the race
Jlt looks a walk in the park compared to the arkle for yorkhill
