Spirit Son & Finian's Rainbow
Nicky Henderson, Barry Geraghty and Michael Buckley to take the Supreme Novices Hurdle and Arkle Chase.
In the Supreme, Sprinter Sacre looks like a top class prospect, but I feel he will be better over fences. Cue Card will run a big race but I was not impressed by him when he came under pressure last time at the track.
The Arkle is a fascinating contest. I think Medermit is vastly overrated. Ghizao will pose a threat as he has strengthened this year, but having analyzed the Neptune Hurdle form from last year, I feel Finian's Rainbow will have more battling qualities up the hill. Both will travel and jump well but I'm backing the Seven Barrows team to double up.

I'd say your not a bad judge mate both look to have outstanding chances.
Couln't agree with you more on Medermit and if he were mines he'd be going for the longer race especially now Hell's Bay is a NR |

Just two bets - so you can stop watching after 2.15pm on Tuesday.
And you're going mad and backing a favourite and a second favourite! - a real thought provoking post. [;)] |

Weren't always their current prices in the betting were they?
Some of us had the foresight to take 20/1 about Spirit Son and I know one poster took 20 or 25/1 about Finians. Better backing something you think will win than some silly outsider who ends up tailed off. |

Rondetto - you missed my point entirely.
This is the festival of racing - jump in and get wet is my motto. GL to the oppo and all those on at prices, but what's he going to do at 2.15 on Tuesday - go fishing  |

I agree with the post about Cue Card, although the race is not just down to the 2 of them. When he came under pressure in the **** I didn't necessarily think he liked it and can't see him winning this on the bridle.
