All the talk has been about Sizing Europe, and rightly so as he has been very impressive to date. Another potential Arkle horse coming out today at Exeter is Tataniano. He is racing against trees today, but you can guarantee the bookies will cut his price if he wins today, despite the opposition.
To me he has a much more likeable Arkle profile than Sizing Europe does, so it will be interesting to see how the race goes and how his price changes afterwards.

This is the one I have ear-marked for top honours this season following a very impressive run at Cheltenham in April. Will be very interested to watch him today.
At this early stage the Arkle looks a cracker, race for the Festival.
Sizing Europe travelled and jumped like a dream last week, but he beat little imo, and whiles't he looks top draw, he is far to fragile an animal to be backing at 8's (Even 20's which I turned down months ago). Remember last year in the Champion, he got travel sickness!
Nicholls always produces some decent 2m Novice Chasers, when he wins today, he may well be singles figures.
However, I couldn't be having anything in singles figures in November.
So far I've backed 3, all at 50's +, Mad Max, Ashkazeer & Captain Cee Bee. _________________ I bet Jamie is the only one in the Spencer household that gives a bad ride!

If you mean Ashkazar trained by D Pipe then at 50s you have a fantastic bet I'd say brownie!! Nice one.
Mad Max could be a decent shout at that price aswell. I don't fancy Captain Cee Bee on pretty much the same grunds as Sizing Europe, injury prone, and too old.
Tataniano is 12s and 14s in general this morning, so you're probably right he'll be single figures by this afternoon, despite beating horses not much quicker than me!!
I'm keeping my powder well and truly try around any races that may feature Mikael D'Haguenet. Cos to me whatever he turns up in he wins.
Sorry Ashkazar, always been a tw*t for spelling, I actually have him at 59/1!
Mad Max could be top draw, really really exciting. Agree re Captain C B, re age and fragile, but was a huge price.
I like Mikael D'Haguenet, but god knows which race he'll go for, Mullins will play it late as to which race he goes for. I'll keep my bets on him for the day, lucky for me i'm there Tuesday & Wednesday next year! _________________ I bet Jamie is the only one in the Spencer household that gives a bad ride!

unless Mr Mullins breaks my heart and puts him in against Big Bucks in the World Hurdle then you should see the magnificent Mikael over those two days Brownie...
Arkle, Sun Alliance chase surely the most likely options?
Agree he'll leave it late just like last year though....
