2023 Champion Chase

Hope he does come across again for the Clarence House next weekend. It'll be another intriguing race.

Aye same, need these clashes.

Edwardstone has proved me wrong since going into the Arkle. The improvement has been very impressive.

Not just you that doubted him......loads did ! We've all been there though. Need to stick to what you think even if it turns out wrong. I doubted Constitution Hill........

My first actions in this race have been Edwardstone and Gentleman De Mee each way... I think they're two of very few prices that jumped out at me across all the races.

I think Edwardstone was never really given the credit for his season, and whilst you'd assume Energumene is comfortably ahead of Gentleman De Mee, an injury or poor perforamnce to just one of Shishkin or Energumene at any point gives you a really solid looking stab at getting a fav beat...


That said, number 1 hope for the season is Shishkin looks imperious in the UK, Energumene mops up in Ireland and we have the QMCC clash we all hoped for....

Or they just run against each other a few times again, which is pie-in-the-sky stuff now...

Was half right


Now....

4/5 Energumene
4/11 Edwardstone

If I was starting now, I'd be backing Energumene ..... different league.


This'll be built as a clash and end as a romp... ...... I really do need to start backing Energumene

At those prices
I'd be backing Energumene as well.
However, after being in team Energumene all last season and him doing me a big turn.
I'd be with the new fella, at 11/4 though.
One of those heads vs tails match ups I reckon, and so I'd go with the odds.
Much tougher call if the bookies evened the prices out a little.

You can get 4/5 and 11/4

I disagree, I don't think it's a close call or a 50/50 - 4/5 is the value

[Lobos]

Bit of a shift in prices for the Clarence House with Paddy Power today.......ummmmmm

[Quevega]

You can get 4/5 and 11/4

I disagree, I don't think it's a close call or a 50/50 - 4/5 is the value

I wouldn't take 4/11 though !

We can agree to disagree on the other element.
Price disparity I call it.

Energumene v Edwardstone looks on on Saturday. With one other rival apparently.

Think I'll be loading up on Energumene of course

Energumene to 'break' another British contender 2.0

[callhimgamblor]

I'm liking Blue Lord for this more and more.... maybe as an ew double with APT in the GC...

Energumene to 'break' another British contender 2.0

and get beat in the process again.........

Eddie is made of sterner stuff than Shitskin I reckon. Battle hardened boy. Even Willie said he's frightened of him. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Great race to look forward too. Love it.

[Lobos]

Willie.......


"Edwardstone is a very good horse. He showed that last season and is back to form again now. He's one we're not looking forward to taking on."

[Black Dog]

Willie.......


"Edwardstone is a very good horse. He showed that last season and is back to form again now. He's one we're not looking forward to taking on."

And yet here he is bringing him over eight weeks before he has to.

[Benjy23]

Edwardstone is nowhere near Shishkin league I'm afraid. Not having that. I will continue to underestimate him until the end...

Energumene by at least 8 lengths
