I'm surprised how many people have said Captain Guinness is the one to take from the race. If they both go Supreme then Cheltenham is a far stiffer 2 miles than Punchestown, which correct me if I'm wrong, is a fairly flat track. Andy Dufresne absolutely winged the last, stayed on really well...

Showed some good battling qualities there Andy Dufresne, against the horse that finished second who also looks decent. Pulled well clear of the rest. Well run Supreme will see him in the mix.

I'd quite confidently predict Albert Bartlett unless v soft.

Envoi did what he needed to, plenty of petrol left in the tank. Think reading between the lines from Elliott's comments post race, it seems he'll go Ballymore.

Champagne Classic National Hunt Chase - 15/2 Skybet £1000 win

If its soft ground come the big day, I'll be backing Al Boum Photo.

Sam Spinner out for the season

The RSA is there for the taking for Champ the way I see it. Expect him to shorten more when he wins the dipper on New year's day

I'm not entirely convinced we'll see Envoi vs Aba. I think he'll be stepped up in trip & go Naas in the new year. Agreed though, great time of year for racing. Samcro vs Faugheen at Limerick? Samcro will smash him to bits...

If the cap fits - stayers 9/1 sky bet £300 e/w

Playing Devils advocate here, but Elliott sent Samcro to the Ballymore & a few decent ones to it this year.

As I've said before, I couldn't be as confident you are that EA is going Supreme. I might be reading too much into it, but Paddy's have shortened EA into 7/4 now for the Ballymore & are best price 9/2 for the Supreme. Andy Defresne wants a strongly run 2 miles so logic says send him Supreme & EA...

Windsor Avenue- RSA 200 e/w 33/1 (Hills)

Not a chance they'll go Champion hurdle route with him

Elliott on EA "the one thing that probably would beat him is a slow pace" - certainly wouldn't be a slow pace in the supreme but maybe more tactical in the Ballymore. I really think it's a 50/50 call whether they go Supreme or Ballymore. I defy anyone to be confident re which race he goes. One...

Early call & lots could change but the JLT could be some race come March. Samcro, Reserve Tank, Black Op, Laurina, Angels Breath all with big reputations but there to be shot at hopefully by the rising star from Brian Ellison's yard....:whistle:

Andy Dufresne- Ballymore 10/1 (PP,BV) £500 win

Wins on Saturday for me but.... Won't get the trip for the KG & will end up back trying to retain his Champion Chase come March.

Seeing AD going two & a half next again (as Elliot indicated today) made me think he's likely to go Ballymore. But then JP also has Blue Sari who I'd be surprised if went Supreme. Surely JP would want to split these two up so I really have no idea now! If Envoi Allen wins the Royal Bond over 2...

This and this. 10's with Laddys & Coral for JLT :blink:Must have been on the juice those compilers. Not a chance
