Preview

Looking at some of the festival races , the Arkle has a couple of interesting ones at present., Champagne Fever is plenty short enough at 4/1 and Dodging Bullets at 7/1 is next best. Defy Logic is a decent each way shout at 10/1, as is Hinterland, whilst Rock on Ruby will be the stand out price at 10/1 currently if he wins at Doncaster next week. He is the class act amongst these., and is currently my fancy, whilst our man in Ladbrokes goes for the Bullet.
