Why just because he made a bad mistake? Moscow Flyer fell in that race before winning the Arkle.

Going best when he fell, the front 2 finishing too close together to both be great horses.

Dangerous to dismiss personally would rather have him than either of the first two home

wouldnt surprise me if they swerve chelt...not the best prep going there with 2 runs, 1 serious error on debut and one fall.may need/get another run soon if heading over to prestbury.

S James went 25/1 straight after the race, and I thought that was a very generous price, so had a tenner each way.  Only half an hour later they had brought that back in to 16/1.

I agree that its not an ideal prep, but I do think this is looking like a very weak Arkle, and he was travelling the best when he did fall.  I'd rather he make his mistakes now than at Cheltenham - hopefully he will still be going to it.

Good to know your wise words, you've been 2 weeks on betair.

His price reflects his chances.

i thought he was jumping loverly up to that mistake, and was deff best horse in race forget rest for chelt.i think it was maybe a bit of lazy ness by jockey as he seemed to be jumping without effort.but if he can forget that mistake i think he deff could be chelt bound as maybe a good strong arkle just what he needs.

They and Nicholls badly need Ruby back.

Flat Out brings last seasons Supreme Novice form to the Arkle. He has speed.

If - and it's a big if - Willie Mullins can improve his jumping in the next seven weeks then I feel that he'll make his presence felt.

I too think that had he stood up today he would have won, but thats only an opinion. He's on my shortlist.
