Queen Mother Champion Chase 2021

Very happy with that from PTKO, ticked a few boxes. What a tough lass!

Yeh she's all heart isn't she. First time up that's a big tick.

Defi is done, never mind 3 miles

I don’t think we’ve seen any QMCC contenders there to my eye

Loved that from Kettle, DDG set a good gallop and every though she didnt jump as well as she can she ground it out. A player come March for sure.

Tough little performance. Into a general 8/1 for this which is probably plenty short enough. Not sure if the 14s with Hills is a mistake, but if so won't last long

Good thing it's run in March and not November then. Never understood why anyone expects festival quality performances on a seasonal reappearance in November.

I just can’t have her anywhere near the front 3 on a good (or good to soft) ground Champion Chase but then she keeps on winning. I know they won’t do it but on good ground I’d be going for the Mares Chase

Boooooom !!!!!!!!

Sorry Charlie, I was only teasing the PTKO backers. I do think she’s the most likely winner currently

No need to apologise pal and I haven't backed PTKO

I like to see novices come out and win in open company
That was a tough race and she shown heart and guts there
I've been against that Arkle form for some time, well, until it was proven

I dont want to over-react here, but she's won 3 times now at Cheltenham and I'm more than happy to say that I can now see her as a contender

[Craigy14]

Happy enough with that. She has a big old heart to ground down Duc.

She will definitely be a player in March imo, getting the 7lbs too.

As with many got the 40/1 voucher

The other plus is she's won today coming off the pace rather than setting it, showing versatility as well as guts.

She'll be better on better ground, well that's how I see it.

That's surely Defi out of the picture for the Champion Chase. That win by PTKO might just force Joey O'Brien into a rethink.
