    Thanks
    May be because Paul Jones put it up as a selection on his service on Monday Evening

          • Faugheen v Champ in an RSA would seriously test Champs jumping even more as Faugheen would cruise through the race and have them on the stretch... would rather be in Faugheen at 20s than Champ at 4s

              Faugheen one of my all time favs and if he jumps like he did last time out he,ll win wherever they run him. But its a big IF for me.

              Champ looks the real deal and Im not worried about his jumping , more how he takes the prelims.

              Worthy fav is Champ and had small saver on him , as I really like Battleofdoyen to right the wrong from last season.

                • Champ out of its comfort zone having to jump at pace... Can’t win a race it it can’t stand up..

                  • Hope Faugheen wins whatever race he goes to.
                    However the JLT is there for the taking, think a good aggressive ride from the front would win it

                      Think it will need to be genuine soft ground though or else he'll go RSA.

                      • I think Faugheen on his day is good enough to win either the JLT or RSA. I’d think they’ll keep him to the JLT personally, it looks the more winnable race. They’ll go for the weakest race to go out on a Cheltenham high

                        • Did you hear master mullins on road to Cheltenham talk about the RSA. 16/1...wonder if its worth doing without non runner no bet. Surely will be 7s when that happens. Then go off at 3s

                          Comment


                          • I’ve put him for the RSA purely with that many unsure of targets including Faugheen but just think he may only have one other runner in this race between CS and Allaho.

                            The rest we’ve seen to date want shorter and can’t think of any others that are not sidelined that would want the trip.

                              Did his best jumping at Newbury the faster they went, then at Chelt jumped really well when Barry squeezed him into them. If it wasnt for the 2nd last id say hes a perfectly decent jumper. Unfortunately he has it to prove now, youd have to worry about his confidence going forward.

                                Can’t agree BM , I’ve covered at 10’s because he has a great engine , in my eyes he is most definitely not a natural jumper and the fall was an accident waiting to happen.
                                The name, owner , connections , media hype is responsible for his current price
