Champion Chase 2018

[Can't Catch Me]

where he proved in the most worthless of circumstances that he can go a bit further

Seems a bit harsh Montjeu. Didn't seem worthless to my eyes.

Pardon, it was in fact Ruby who said those words, not Willie.

"So far he’s looked like an out-and-out 2-miler, but who knows? He’s a year older so might be able to go a bit further."

That was prior to his win at Gowran, where he proved in the most worthless of circumstances that he can go a bit further. Nobody is disputing Min would get 2m5, as I have said, he would have been one of my biggest winners of the week in the Ryanair. But with Douvan out he does look nailed on to run here. They weren't scared to take on Altior in the Arkle so I see no reason why they would be scared to take him on now, especially with his problems. Add in the fact they have the defending Ryanair champ in UDS.

All dosent matter now. He will go for his champion chase trial at Christmas. Should win that very easily or would want to be. Then on the qmcc ... .. If he stays sound that is.
Which I really hope so as would be hard to see him out the 3. You can have an educated guess. But nobody knows who would win between min and altior in a 2 mile CHASE at Cheltenham. Min the one who needs to do his talking in the track.

1/9 in a 3 runner field, against chasers rated 142 and 139. Of course if was good to see that he was back fit and well, and still jumped with exuberance, but if that's not a worthless piece of form I don't know what is.

My thoughts exactly Scooby

Keep backing Min guys, Altior terrible price Min will walk this for me.

I think altior is a better price at 6/4 than min at 3/1 now although I wouldn't back it at this stage. I would be suprised if the can't get a prep into him but they're just saying worst case scenario to cover themselves.
Very happy with 12s ew on min with more than enough on.
but I wouldn't be playing now. Politologue also very short now. But I suppose they have to take the ew bets into consideration. And he'd be bigger win only.

The only value i could see would be great field ew at 20s but hes currently out and that price looks far too big to be true with the guys in the know.

Min my only play in the race so far

I agree with the fact that Altior is not a bet just now at 11/8 6/4 but if he turns up with any sort of confidence behind him (prep run or not) in March he will not be beaten. I suppose without a prep run that unknown might leave him a backable price come March

[Istabraq]

I have a feeling Altior will be ahead of schedule and get a decent prep run in before standing his ground for this, and that his price will be the wrong side of Evs for punters....

Scary to think what price he would be if he had ran in and presumably won the Tingle Creek

Have they ever said which procedure was performed on Altior? Maybe they're trying to 'do a Binocular'.

[finch]

Don't see many 999 layers for Altior

[archie]

Not February yet.

hopefully we get the chance to find out. I like your confidence Billy but backing Min at 3/1 or 7/2 is madness.
