Can anyone see there being more than 10 runners in each of these races I certainly cannot, the arkle will cut up badly with the grade two golden miller now on the scene and the champion just has to have around 10 with so many poor runs from horses of late as for bets well i just hope that CAPTAIN CHRIS runs in the arkle, he looks ready made for that race and is improving and for me if there is a race for Mikael D Hauguenet then perhaps the arkle would suit more than the sun alliance chase.
In the champion having secured 120-1 for OSCAR WHISKY he is my main hope with Clerks Choice as an outsider, it does seem that the first four in the betting and also hype horse Dunguib seem to get all the attention but Oscar Whisky jumps, travels, stays and has speed, has more improvement to come and has to have every chance.

I don't think Dunguib is a hype horse this year, he was last year.

I backed osc whiskey for supreme last year and was a bit dissapointed on his 4th placing.however he did clout a hurdle in the back sraight and was saandwiched at the second last.
As you say he looks to have matured and strengthened this season and is a very live player. |

Ribotman, you have just described exactly what i saw in countless replays of the Supreme i have watched.
Thats why i backed him.Got 90,not as good as you,but well happy with that,and i am really excited about him to be honest,he will i am sure get my pulse racing. I have kept all my bet as thats normally my way,if he loses so be it,but if he does win,to have him at such big odds is verty satisfying,and nice that i have all the winnings,and no one else gets any!!  |

buddeliea,nice price fraid it wasn't me at fancy prices,only got 14/1 at moment but will be supplementing more soon at whatever price i can get.
I too tend not to lay any bets as i was brought up,betting wise in the era without exchanges and have found i am crap at choosing what to lay or not. the great thing for punters now is that you can easily watch online for free any race you want,and can spot things in running. Oscar whiskey has only been beaten once and it shows the strength of this years renewal that he is available at double figure prices. |

Nice price OW. Thank goodness we have Bf what price do you think old enemy would have given you?
One thing that bothers me is the use of the would 'hype'. When a horse goes into a race with impecable credentials and the best form that is not 'hype'. When a horse goes into a race with no form and a reputation based only on home work that is 'hype'. |

Agree that the champion hurdle could cut up to a small field.
