    I agree with you about the Arkle - pretty poor to only have 5 runners - the soft ground though makes it more interesting with Saint Calvados now a real danger to FOOTPAD.

    Disappointed to see north hill Harvey's defection in the arkle but other than that on day one I m pretty happy...13 in the Champion hurdle..some years we ve barely had 8. Although with the ground as it is and at best if its soft heavy in places tomorrow will there be some late withdrawals?

    I m not sure with this ground whether there will be more shocks or whether as we ve been running on this sort of ground for months now it will transpire from recent form...

    The only danger to BUVEUR D'AIR is whether Faugheen is any better with cheekpieces.

    Will still stick with the former though along with Footpad in the Arkke.
    I think Getabird will get turned over by KALASHNIKOV in the Supreme, whilst in the Mares I think APPLE'S JADE is probably the banker of the week.

    I agree with you to a degree on the champion hurdle but i m not so sure its a formality...anything can happen and probably more so on heavy ground...he could fall or another horse could fall in front of him...
