    The Road To The 2018 Champion Chase

    I’ve got MIn in a nice trixie but in the Ryanair so I’m praying for a Lazarus like job with Douvan! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Road to the Grand National 2018

    I could make a good case for about 20 in that list with a slight lean towards the higher weights this year. Noble Endeavour would be high on my list. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Road To The 2018 Champion Chase

    At the prices I’d be keen on Min and take my chance Altior won’t produce his very best. The fact that Min didn’t run again that season after the Supreme gives some credence to the injury story. That said it’s hard to see anything beating Altior that day. The way he finishes races is something...

    The Road To The 2018 Champion Chase

    I think so. None of the three protagonists declared for that race are running over their usual trip. If they all stand their ground it’ll be interesting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    If you take their word that Saturday wasn’t his ground then he looks a very fair price for the Supreme. He has genuine excuses for Sandown. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It’s a big risk though. He could just as easily be Carvills Hill. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Interesting that they’re thinking of getting another run into Our Duke. He has got it all to prove though. I can’t have one in the Gold Cup that makes so many jumping errors. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Road To The 2018 Champion Chase

    Yeah, I’m not suggesting that might happen but it might be worth considering when trying to weigh up Min v Altior. For me Min has produced a performance at true championship pace last week whereas Altior has simply had a superior turn of foot than his rival after a more sedate pace. It’s...

    The Road To The 2018 Champion Chase

    This is not in reply to what you’ve just said Granger but I heard a suggestion that Politologue had been given time off after a busy end to 2017 and they were only just building him up again. Can’t for the life of me remember where that came from or if it has any credence. Sent from my iPhone...

    Elliott said exactly the opposite of that about Getabird. He was keen to avoid him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Not that this is likely to happen but someone's not keeping their eye on the ball at Bet 365. They are NRNB and have Footpad 6/1 for the JLT. The other two firms are quite rightly evens.

    2018 Gold Cuppin'

    It's seeing what you want to see and ignoring evidence that doesn't fit in with your theory. As punters we often have to overlook a bad run or two when forming an opinion on any given race but it becomes dangerous when you take a view on a horse which you're willing to follow over the...

    The Road To The 2018 Champion Chase

    I still hold the opinion that a unique set of circumstances in last years race meant Special Tiara got very lucky. When he bombed off in front all the others thought they’d let Douvan reel him in and then pick up whatever scraps were left. It was only half way down the hill they realised Douvan...

    2018 Gold Cuppin'

    It’s always good to have the alternative argument put forward. It makes you question your own methods and stops you just accepting the general perception. Sometimes you get a couple of decent judges in the media saying the same thing and all of a sudden that becomes an often repeated ‘fact’. I...
