I see that he's 10/1 with all bookies bar Lads who go 9/1.
The last I heard was that Albertas came out of the King George with a back injury and wasn't sure of him being ready for the Cheltenham Festival.
Can anyone explain why all the 12's have been taken?
TIA

I guess people are taking a chance on his well being. Certainly a big player if he turns up in good condition, but it's a big if. |

he's a tough horse....after that fall at ascot where he tried to lay up with master minded, i didn't think we'd see him again.

He rescued my Cheltenham last year and gave me a profitable Aintree. Would love to be on him again, but just can't put my money on until I get some confirmation of his well being.

I will be backing for the Ryanair if he is right. Loves Cheltenham, a fast run 2m 5f should be perfect and I think he would be an EW certainty

All about the ground for him. One of the best horses in training on proper decent ground. Anything softer than genuine spring festival GS and he's not up to Grade 1 class. Would definitely wait til the day until backing him.

Followed him last year at Chelts and Aintree but I'll be steering clear whatever the ground this time around. AR is another year older and there is every chance that the Nicholls runner is a little better this term. More worringly is the likely addition of Riverside Theatre to the mix who is a true grade 1 performer on an upward curve. That is something AR didn't have to contend with last year.
When you add to the above the fact that last year AR although not in sparkling form prior to Chelts was at least putting up some reasonable efforts compared with what he has done this year then he's a no bet for me. |

all valid cruise d but have an indelible image of his performances at Cheltenham and Aintree last spring in my mind's eye.
Might wait and see how Jonjo's are running over the first couple of days, more afraid of RT than Poquelin. |
