Captain Guinness is a horse I’d have taken little interest in but for a preview podcast where Rachel Blackmore, when asked for her best bet at Cheltenham, nominated him EW. He seems to have been around for a long time, but Captain Guinness is joint youngest (with Funambule Sivola) in this Queen Mother Champion Chase, and he has been running well lately. I have backed him at 20/1 in the ‘without market’ with William Hill.
