Aidymac Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Leopardstown 1:30 - Frank Ward Solicitors Arkle Novice Chase (Grade 1) I might just be trying to try to nick third place here as it is a very strong Grade 1 but with Barry Geraghty on board I had a small each-way investment on Art Of Logistics. He ran ok for a long way behind Defy Logic over course and distance last time out and if he can run to the level of his Punchestown win he would have a chance here in my opinion. I thought he would be around 20/1 at most so I am happy to have a small bet at 33/1.

Aidymac Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Re: National Hunt Racing > Sunday January 26th Leopardstown 3:10 I think Gilt Shadow has what it takes to win this race today as he is down in grade for the in form Stuart Crawford yard. He prefers a bit of cut in the ground and that might explain the poor run in a Grade 1 last time out, which was a race he went off a well fancied 9/2 shot. He won a maiden hurdle at Down Royal by 9 lengths back in November and created a very good impression. If you look back there is a hugely interesting piece of form where he finished 2nd to The Liquidator and the Pipe horse went on to win a Grade 2 by 15 lengths soon after. The 3rd that day Apache Stronghold of the Noel Meade yard went on to win a Grade 2 in easy fashion. I think Gilt Shadow will enjoy the step up in trip and should be hard to beat.
