Grand Crus - over reaction to last race (tidal bay last yr)
Menorah - debatable form (SC stinker LTO) Supreme novice form aint great.
Kauto - too old, wont place. Never suited chelt despite to (poor GCs). For the record backed him both times but sentiment goes out the window this yr.

In that order

Top 3 in worst Arkle in 20 years.
Report Cheltenham_Enthusiast.................... • March 9, 2011 9:16 PM GMT
I was looking at the Arkle yesterday evening.

I haven't got a bet on it at all and was thinking the same along the lines of how poor a renewal it was. Must be some huge value in there somewhere, but don't know where to start.
Report goonjims • March 9, 2011 9:22 PM GMT
must the the worst arkle for quite some imo
Report dwm767 • March 9, 2011 9:31 PM GMT
This year's Arkle can't be judged until after the race! Medermit is pretty exposed, but Finian's Rainbow could be anything! His last run wasn't great, but excuses could easily be found, and if he pops round in a decent time he could be one for next year!

Pandorama a place in the Gold Cup is another decent lay I reckon; talented but soft as **** and will never hold his own in a notoriously tough race!

Vibes not good dwm767 about pando I agree and lets face it you need to be on your game. They aren't barking his name are they?
Report Speculation • March 9, 2011 9:42 PM GMT
dwm767 "medermit is pretty exposed". Yes I agree, by a million miles the likeliest winner on profile.

I think they might be running him for the experience, I can't honestly believe they think he's got a strong chance...as you say, we'd of heard about it by now!

Medermit is the most likely winner on profile; Nicholls locked Ghizao away after his last Newbury win, and Henderson's clearly protecting Finians Rainbow!
Report bigben the horseman • March 9, 2011 9:51 PM GMT
pando is better than kempes and has form thru weapons amnesty which gives him a great chance against long run. when u consider the age of kauto and denman he has to be a decent bet
Report Speculation • March 9, 2011 9:53 PM GMT
Ghizao has not enough class to win an Arkle imo dwm 767
Report Speculation • March 9, 2011 9:54 PM GMT
He is a loser in my book.
Report dwm767 • March 9, 2011 11:05 PM GMT
I agree, ive not got the feeling he's anything special! I'm not sure Medermit is that classy either though, but I do think he's been campaigned brilliantly by Alan King, he hasn't tried to protect his reputation, he's put in in hard races against some good horses and I think that experience makes him favourite...although ive backed Finians Rainbow!!

KalahariK, MickaelDH and Long Run are good shouts. As is Chicago Grey, I failed to understand why this is at the top of the market when studying the race the other day.Confused

Cue Card - Form hasn't worked out. He ain't that good.
Kauto star- place lay- hate to say anything negative about the great horse buts looks on the decline

Tinkler how can you say HF has virtually no chance, come on! If you're gonna use the 'never run at chelts' or he's by Montjeu excuses then you'll deserve to get burned!
Report tinkler • March 10, 2011 11:00 AM GMT
Dermo
All he does is keep beating Solwit on soft ground apart from once on good ground when he only just beat
solwit. Solwit was beaten out of sight in last years CH. The horse has weak form and the CH will expose him.
Peddlers Cross is in a class apart. Good luck if you've backed HF you'll need it.
Report dermo79 • March 10, 2011 11:24 AM GMT
its been said many times on here before anbout Solwhit and last yrs champ hurdle so not goin into it again...I'll be a backer at 11/2 remember the horse would have in all likelihood been a short priced fav for last yrs renewal given that Go Native was the 11/4f
