2026 Champion Chase

Majborough to win hard held tomorrow and it will look like a straight shoot out between the Mullins pair for the champion chase

Would love that to be the case but know there's a lot of Marine National fans out there(I don't have him covered) who would disagree!

Ahh yeah it would be foolish to leave him out, especially if the ground is on the decent side
 
I’m tempted to take the 9/2 William hill boost special for IET to cover with Majborough for CC. I can’t work out if it’s he just doesn’t act round Cheltenham or is he just a better horse now. Will be Paul’s ride as-well too which is a big positive.

I'm looking at it the same way, I'm leaning towards the latter though, if he does act round Cheltenham now, then he's a serious player.
 
Would rather Marine National than the pair of Mullins like. Wouldn't be considering covering both and not Marine!

Actually considering laying Maj tomorrow.

Definitely going to be a test first time out.
Giving weight to Energumene and Found a Fifty, who’s had a run

Be interesting to see if energumene goes forward tomorrow or stable orders will mean hes held up and maj gets a freebie

Id probably not lay him until you see how they are lining up

Ruby Walsh raised some interesting points on one of the road to cheltenhams, which was that IEP specifically missed one hdl and one fence (maybe 3 out) on both attempts at the course which cost him dearly, he implied if they can fox that then could be a different horse. I’m on the fence (backed him for both the supreme and arkle, so somewhat biased now)

Do you know if those online specials apply on the machines in store? Not a big fancy but foolish to not cover perhaps?

If he can't beat these lot today then he won't win champion chase. Should win easy
 
Already clipped into 6/1
