2025 Champion Chase

[Quevega]

I put a short video up in the preview thread yesterday which had some uk trainers commenting after weights announced.

Young Twiston said that Matata going to aintree and unlikely cheltenham.
I know a few on here backed a while back at fancy odds.
decision to make maybe.

Edwardstone was going GA so that could mess up how that Handicap shapes.

Gaelic Warrior looking shaky on the machine

Kevin Blake has said at a preview show that Ricci told him he’s unlikely to travel … Mind you, Ricci said this last year too.

[Kevloaf]

You couldn't fancy Gaelic Warrior unless it was worse than soft ... in any race

That Arkle was toss

He hasn't got any chance of winning QMCC or Ryanair

If I could have my entire stake back, I'd just lay Gaelic Warrior wherever he turned up

Guys... I please can't encourage you enough...

Please get on a few markets including without jonbon market each way.

Get on the found a fifty.... Jpr ones.... Captain Guinness
(jpr one in either this or grand annual will be my bet of the week).

But this race will cut up insanely.

The race will pay 2 places when decs are through.

If your on an each way without jonbon...you might get paid for someone completing the course in last.... Exaggeration but i hope you get what i mean.

….i’m restricted to pennies with Sky but have taken 40-1 AP FAF to have a few e/w doubles with the HDB pair in the Ryanair.

Who is offering a without market? Cannot find one

…PP certainly have one.

[Chelterskelter]

Thanks, was looking for an arkle without market, but hopefully that'll be up soon. Had success in the past in ew without multiples in races you can see cutting up to fewer than 8 runners. Arkle, champion chase, gold cup could be options this year

[EnvoiAlien]

Got a few quid on JPR One ew at 125/1 a while ago...but I do think they'll end up in the GA instead,think good ground and he'll be thereabouts.

Ok, I'm going with a controversial take, but is it possible the Irish 2m - 2m4f form is dog shit? Has Solness really improved that much in the space of two runs or has he just been flattered by beating average horses that are rated too high? (He was easily beat by Jonbon in the Tingle Creek) Gaelic Warrior wants soft ground/further (Possibly both) and definitely not Leopardstown to be seen at his best (Living off that one run in the Arkle where everything fell right for him). Marine Nationale has been rocking up, running ok, but not winning. Senecia managed to beat El Fabiolo et al yesterday and he is garbage. Energumene won the Hilly Way but had been put in his place by Jonbon. Honestly, someone sell it to me that barring a mishap, Jonbon won't win? I don't see how?

I thought I had over rated the UK runners, but now I'm thinking that Jonbon is a good horse in a piss poor division.

PS. Yes, I have worded this just to add to the dramatic effect!

I think this is fair.
For me Ireland's best shot lies with Energumene but being the most ground dependent horse in training he looks to have got unlucky with the weather gods.
Jonbon is hovering around 1.95 on the machine and a general 5/6 with the books, as someone who believes Galopin des Champs is the closest thing you'll ever get to a Cheltenham certainty I think the 7/4 double is something I could get interested in and no doubt someone has an enhanced double price offer at bigger than 7/4...

If You haven't watched it Envoi ,, The Handicaps weights reveal on Youtube - ( Racing Post ??. ) , last week , worth a watch .
The Guy interviewed Joe Tizzard , pretty sure Joe said J.P.R.1 for the G.A. as not quite good enough for the ch. chs.
