Think I might end up with Protektorat on the day here. Only trends fit that will be left.
He should still run in the race, and you just never know in this game.
Hes jumped a lot better than that before so have to hope he can again in March.
Protek has a big chance Benjy imo.

[QUOTE=charlie;n351097]Chantry House is just not a proper top level G1 animal, never has been IMO. Fortuitous and a very good horse, but that’s it. His fans must know that after today, surely, He’s 12/1 and I wouldn’t back him @ 33/1[/Q
Everyone agrees with this after today Charlie.

These second season chasers tend to up their form come March for whatever reason, especially the one's with proven Cheltenham form.
People were saying the same about Minella Indo this time last year.
Santini & LIT the year before.
Al Boum Photo before that.
He doesn't look as springy as he was when winning his races towards the end of last season. That's not a pun, it's just how his jumping appears. Looks like a lot of effort at the moment.

Im keeping mine, I’ve seen enough over the years in this game. Especially when it comes to the Gold Cup.
Good luck with your bet(s)

The problem for me is he just looks so slow over fences.
They were going a decent gallop, they will in the Gold Cup, so if he’s unable to keep up he’s losing lengths at every fence. Let’s be honest too, what he faced today is a far far cry of what he’ll face in March.
He’s won which is the only positive I’d say after his last run pulling up at Kempton.

Good luck to you COD
A Plus Tard, Galvin, outsider the 1-2-3 imo.
