Mullins is giving great word about his Arkle chance, Golden Silver 20/1, the horse beat some of his race rivals last time out at Lepordstown and thinks he will be there about come the end.

Maybe a horse to include in a Lucky 15.

The ground was absolutely bottomless though.

The horse won well, but i think the others could reverse the form on better ground.

Who's everyone opting for tomorrow then? I'll post my selections after a final review later on.

Very Confident in Binocular - saw him at Haydock and was in awe, a fantastic Horse and McCoy loves to ride him.

Don't think Kasbah Bliss will win the World Hurdle, will be backing Big Bucks or Punchestown.

As for the Gold Cup, I don't think Kauto can win. I would like The Queen's Horse - Barber Shop to win but think i'll be backing Neptune Collonges also.

Supreme Novice - Red Moloney
Arkle - Forpadydeplaster
WH Trophy - Caillin Alainn
Champ Hurdle - Jered
Cross Country - Dix Villex
Mares Hurdle - Oscar Rebel

Good luck everybody

Rumour that Cousin Vinny didn't eat up well this morning and could even be NR?

Would be a disaster for the Owners but would also even the race up.

Cousin Vinny didn't travel well but other than that he's fine.

Supreme - Kangaroo Court (each way) - good solid form and romped home at Doncaster before running into a very nice horse in Karabak last time out. Stamina test will help and appreciates a sound surface (though handles soft). Best Price: 28/1 - VC, Sportingbet, Paddy Power, Hills

Arkle - Original (each way) - huge beast of a horse, winning form in France but turned the Wayward Lad into a procession at Kempton over Christmas and has been targeted at this race since by trainer Marcel Rolland. He's huge (18.25HH) and has been at Jean-Rene Auvray's Lambourn yard for the past week or so. Best Price: 18/1 Stan James

William Hill Chase - Golden Flight (each way) - Grade 1 class over in France and though making his UK debut he's with a trainer who's been known to get one ready for the Festival off a big lay off (The Bushkeeper and Non So spring to mind). Best Price: 25/1 Hills

Champion Hurdle - Othermix (each way) - Monster price for a horse who was just a couple of lengths behind Hurricane Fly (would have been fav for the Supeme Novices) at Auteuil last year. Since been bought by new owners and moved to Tom Georges (7 wins in last 13 runners prior to today). Already backed him myself at big prices and expect a big run though will come on for the run. Best Price: 150/1 VC

Cross-Country Chase - Garde Champetre(each way) - Enda Bolger farms this week year in year out and in Garde Champetre he's found another real lover of the course. Second favourite in the betting behind stablemate L'Ami but he has the Queen of Cross Country Nina Carberry on board tommorow and is likely to go close. Best Price: 4/1 Betfred and VC

Mares Hurdle - Oscar Rebel (each way) - Already advised a bet of Quevega in the race but she's now too short to consider backing. Her compatriot Oscar Rebel is a progressive young horse who brings good soft and good ground form into the race including in open company. Best Price: 14/1 Hills

Good luck to those already on the advised selections

Hope the RLFans guys (and girls) give the bookies a pasting tomorrow.
