Sprinter has had bombs on him today now 6/5 best price. Is it like picking money up off the ground???????
Kauto still has a share in him as far as I'm aware although he may not want to comment.

He'll surely be odds-on on the day. I'm still filling up and will put some IR lays on at very short prices come the 13th.

Peddler's Cross 7.2 on Betfair for the Arkle - WTF?

If Peddlers Cross goes for the Jewson it could be argued that the Thursday will be a stronger day than the Wed. Especially if Simonsig and Boston Bob go for the Supreme and Albert Bartlett.

The most anticipated Arkle in years is turning into a damp squib

I can barely believe how many trainers are just needlessly ******* about this close to the meeting. PC should be in the Arkle, Medermit in the Ryanair and Grands Crus in the RSA. Sort it.

Here here, there has been more messing this year than usual. There are too many options and too many knob head trainers!

And too many on here with ante post bets:lol:
Are you backing with Powers to get your money back if SS wins?

Can't say much but there is a more than valid reason why he has been moved.

I've been backing Al Ferof for six months now and have what for me is quite a sum invested. Every time I have had a worthwhile win a portion has gone on Al Ferof. There is a reasonable possiblity that he will only have to beat two home for a decent return and if as I hope he wins, then without doubt I'll have a profitable festival.

Interesting but considering how badly he got on with Scudamore seems a strange choice of stable to send him to.

McCain sounded very watery on his chances when interviewed the other day. He hasn't schooled him since before Kempton and has mentioned the Jewson as an alternative. I am so envious of the shrewdies on here who got the juicy prices on SS - he looks a moral with or without PC running.

Reading between the lines the general overriding feeling I've got from McCain's statement and his comments at the Bangor preview is that the horse has either had a setback or most likely not come to himself as quickly as he'd have liked after his rest. The horse certainly ain't 100%, it's not that they are running scared or think the Jewson will suit better it would just give him an extra couple of days to get him right. I assume much will depend on how he works between now and then, if he's well he'll go for the Arkle if not I can see him missing the festival altogether.
The only thing that doesn't seem to tie up is that the money was piling in for him for seemingly no reason a week or two back, I had at the time assumed he was doing very well at home

The word was a couple of weeks ago he was back to himself and working the house down. All does not seem right with him now though you would have to conclude.
Doesn't matter where PC goes really. The only danger to SS is if he falls down a hole and I don't expect PC to finish runner-up anyway.
