First things first, Sprinter Sacre once again sent shivers down my spine with his jumping and athleticism earlier today and my Arkle position is kind of my one bright spot in a Jumps season so far full of mud. I managed to top up at 3/1 on Betfair before Donald McCain indicated they may step up in trip with Peddlers Cross and as it stands I have 720/120, a nice lump on at 6/1. A bet to keep one warm throughout the coldest of winters.
Anyway, I'm off to Ireland tomorrow for Lexus day and even though Denman no longer runs it still looks a fine card. In the big race I intend backing Rubi Light on course. This animal was most impressive when easily accounting for Joncol (who re-opposes) over two and half miles last time out and although the three miles tomorrow is a step into the unknown, I think the ground (good to yielding rather than the bog it can be this time of year) will help him stay. Market leader Quito de la Roque is a dour stayer and I think my selection will just have too much speed for him. In summary, Rubi Light is in terrific form, still on the upgrade and is for me the likeliest winner of the race.
Rubi Light £60w on course at best price available (5/2 minimum) (lost)
(-723)
