Completely agree. He’s been given a 11lb beating by a horse whose previous best RPR is 153. I actually thought that was Quilixios’ best run. But even with the most rosiest of specs on, that wasn’t a 155 run by Marine which is so far short of a QMCC. And he looked fit. And he had his conditions. -
I backed 3 for the champion chase last year. Gentleman De Mee 66/1 e/w, Captain Guiness 16/1 e/w and El Fabiolo in multiple roll ups. I thought 2 of them had no chance but could get a place potentially.
El Fabiolo has it all to prove, Jonbon can't win at Cheltenham and Gaelic Warrior could go Ryanair. The race could set itself up for a repeat of a shock winner this year in a race notorious for producing shock results. If Enurgemene is back to near his best he is the pick of all of them for me. I have backed MN and will dip in again at 16s. He is being aimed at it and so will probably Quilixios. I will have them both in the CC team because its such an unpredictable raceComment

Jonbon can win at Cheltenham if EF and GW don’t turn up imo, can even if they do turn up,and unless it’s really soft he can beat Energ.Originally posted by Yosser View Post
But no harm in having one or two at bigger prices, as you say it can be unpredictable.Comment

Agree with all of this, the champion chase is a race that always cuts up. There have been loads of favourites who have flopped, last minute injuries, fallers, outsiders going close by jumping well and getting in a good rhythm on the given day.Originally posted by Yosser View Post
I think people are often guilty this far out of thinking every race at Cheltenham is going to be a lot better than it actually turns out, but there are just as many poor renewals of the top races as quality ones.
So it think it's a bit crazy to be writing off marine nationale after a disappointing first run in nine months, as if plenty of those ahead of him in the market who have won and placed in champion chases havent put in woeful performances numerous times , although i would have hoped he'd have been pushed out further than 16s. I agree and think the 50/1 about quilixios is a must bet too, yes he was disappointing a few times last season but he's still a young horse, de bromhead trained and was faultless at the weekend. Plus he's being aimed here and his well being is known which is more than you can say for a good few in the market.Comment

I know RPR's are just one man's opinion, but Marine Nationale got 140 for his seasonal debut. There's coming on for the run and there's what he'll need to do to even make the start of a QMCC.Comment

Most likely winner appears to be gaelic warrior (if it runs), jonbon is a second place horse. fabiolo cant jump, marine nationale isnt good enough. Energumene the only danger but a year lay off and will be 11 come March.....Comment

why don't you tell us who you are tipping up for the champion chase then palOriginally posted by Carnage at Taunton View PostComment

Not really any need for that is there? Why get flippant because he quoted some facts. We can all tip a horse for every race but that's not really the point of the forum. We are all here for one reason, to beat the bookies.Originally posted by BigL View PostComment

Blimey, you ok?Originally posted by BigL View Post
Really unsure, but if I had to pick one now I would go for EF
But they all have plus and minuses imo
