[Thomas Shelby]

TS, you should rephrase..

"I don't think there is any question that if all the runners bring their A Game and SS brings his B game on the day then Sprinter Sacre wins handsomely".

Agreed. Lol

So hard to know what game he will bring though because Henderson and Geraghty are always positive about all their horses! Not a big betting race for me as there are far too many unknowns. Champagne Fever each way at small stakes.

I wish Hendo talked about his horses like Meade does - honest and truthful. Bad for punters and pretty selfish really. Though I guess you would be a bad trainer if you had no belief in your players.

Geraghty:"Sprinter is my best ride of the week.Spoke with Nicky this morning and he's delighted. We are very excited - couldn't be happier."
Moscow Flyer, Big Zeb and Kicking King were all great horses but Sprinter Sacre is definitely the best I've ever ridden."
"I think Sire De Grugy will find it difficult because it will be his third run in the space of a month. He might pay the price."
"I don't think Champagne Fever's form is strong enough. His latest form would look like he'd be more suited to the Ryanair Chase."

Cheers Old Vic. Just being studying this race last half hour. Only one horse stands out for me in this race. Looking at all the stats aswell.

[Morning Glory]

That still doesn't look like a great Tingle Creek on paper.

also I would be pretty sure the Clarence House was Dodging Bullets Champion Chase.

The best placed Arkle finisher running in the race is likely to be Champagne Fever. That has been an extremely good stat to follow.

[MrMcGoldrick]

Caught an interview on ATR with Gary Moore, he said the three to be wary of are SS, CF and DB, the interviewer said do you think you can beat those horses and Gary Moore just said Yes, yes we can, his body language suggests a good level of confidence

[iainmcf]

Ive given up listening to BG and NH with regards to their horses chances so I cudnt hav SS in this.CF comes here as an afterthought imo which isnt like Mullins, PN is always confident in his horse and is very often right in most cases but this is Chelters and his confidence in DB and MM may be overstated this time which leaves me with SDG as the horse that I'll be backing but hardly with confidence

Former winners Sprinter Sacre and Sire De Grugy headline 12 horses still in contention for the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham on Wednesday.
Sprinter Sacre was a scintillating winner of the two-mile championship in 2013 and although a heart problem prevented him from defending his crown 12 months ago, Nicky Hendrson's stable star is set to return to Prestbury Park in a bid to regain the title.

Sire De Grugy, the undoubted star of the division last season in Sprinter Sacre's absence, has suffered his own problems this term.

Gary Moore's nine-year-old disappointed on his comeback in the Game Spirit at Newbury, but got back on track with a fine weight-carrying performance at Chepstow last month and the trainer reports his charge in rude health following a trip to the beach on Thursday morning.

Speaking in his Betway blog, Moore said: "We decided to take Sire De Grugy and the rest of my Cheltenham runners to West Wittering beach this morning as part of their final preparation for next week.

"It's something I like to do when a big race is coming up, so we thought we would do it again as it didn't do us any harm 12 months ago. He travelled first thing this morning and stretched his legs on an empty beach with the other runners.

"Jamie (Moore) led them all down to the shallows on Sire De Grugy and they broke into a gentle trot. It's a real treat for the horses as it gives them another interest. It's a chance for them to think about other things rather than racing. Jamie said he loved every minute of it and just couldn't take his eyes off the sea, he was mesmerised by it all.

"We've less than a week to go until the Betway Champion Chase now and the plan is to school him tomorrow morning, work him again on Saturday morning and then that'll be it."

Paul Nicholls fires a formidable twin assault with Game Spirit winner Mr Mole joined by Tingle Creek and Clarence House Chase hero Dodging Bullets.

Willie Mullins' dual Festival scorer Champagne Fever heads the Irish challenge, with Henry de Bromhead leaving in both Special Tiara and the veteran Sizing Europe.

Gordon Elliott's novice Clarcam, the Tony Martin-trained Savello, Alan King's Balder Succes, Nicky Richards' Simply Ned and Somersby

Ladbrokes just had Mr Mole enhanced to 14/1, pretty good value, though I could only get 20 on
