Arkle Chase Betting Preview

Tipsters for Paddypower (free thirty pound bet) disagree on who will win the Irish Independent Arkle Chase at Cheltenham 2007 Jessica Harrington "I can't look any further than Fairalong in this race. He has done nothing wrong. He's quick and has taken to jumping fences really well. I'd like to say my mare, Gemini Lucy has a chance but realistically the ground needs to be good for her to win." Brian Flanagan "I like My Way De Solzen a lot but is this the wrong race for him? He has a lot to find on Fairalong. I'd keep on eye out for Don't Push It. Another Promise has a lot of experience and might be worth an each way bet at a big price." Mick Fitzgerald "There is no doubt about Fairalong's talent. He likes to dominate from the front and jumps very well but he has had it all his own way. In the hustle and bustle of the Arkle, he's not going to have it his own way. They will hassle him. Lennon will make it or break it for him. Don't Push It is a classy horse but makes mistakes and won't get away with them at the Festival. I like Jack The Giant. His form is good but very soft ground would not be ideal for him." The Couch"My Way De Solzen didn't finish that race with Fairalong and speaking to Alan King after the race, he told me that he had made a mistake. He'll be much better at the Festival" Derek Thompson "In my opinion, Tidal Fury is a very good bet for this race"
