2.05 Cheltenham - can we get the hot post beaten? ARKLE CHALLENGE TROPHY CHASE GRADE 1

a marvellous race and some worthy favourites that could buck the trends on only 1 fav in the last ten years with the majority of animals 7 yrs old  not much to say on the race really they are close matched and Sprinter Sacre is being backed like there is no racing tomorrow -- but there is!!!!
I hope that you are not mad for the horse myself as he has to prove as good as he is he can run this track he was all over the winner last year against Al Ferof who is my main fancy even if I am not so keen on the Nichols animals at the present  but Sprinter Sacre  went out like a lite - ok that was a hdles and he has grown - but track is everything for this race stats  -  7 yr old's have dominated the race over the years and ground and track means that Al Ferof has the profile to win this  
  Cue Card has only one chance of winning and that's by going off hard and fast back down in trip - this one has had some bad vibes but its last run at Newbury says he's in with a shout today I hope its stamina and speed means he sets off in front and have backed it at the current price and a low lay if it makes its normal errors around the half way mark.
