Ar Mad @ 33/1 EW is juicy. Was 6/1 for the Arkle before injury.
He’s been my fancy Charlie87 for this race also. Took the 25’s E/W Ar Mad before his run in the Tingle Chase.
Obviously Douvan if he runs will be a danger and a few others will no doubt come out the woodwork, but at the moment it does not look the strongest race in depth.

Yeh I took 25’s as well. I have also requested wins Tingle Creek and Champion Chase from Skybet. I imagine that would be north of 66/1

Best of luck Charlie, hoping to get a bit of 5’s for him in the Tingle, if not i’ll put a little bit more on him for Cheltenham.
Douvan not running in the Tingle Creek possibly, hopefully will mean he avoids the King George, I think had he run today that race would have been more likely but I can’t see it happening now and if not running in that should confirm him to staying the two miles for the Champion Chase and added to that with Thistlecrack, Cue Card in the Gold Cup connections would be better staying the two mile route this season anyhow.

Just missed that Nathan, 33’s now
Surely if there’s a bit of dig (or even if there isn’t ) this Un De Sceaux has a great shout.

Un De Sceaux is fully effective on soft or good ground, judge. However…
Douvan is long odds-on to go for the Champion Chase. So if Douvan goes Champion it’s odds-on Un De Sceaux goes for the Ryanair. imo Last season Un De Sceaux didn’t settle well enough for the Ryanair trip, but stayed almost 21 1/2 furlongs well enough to win the Prix La Barka on supposedly soft ground at Auteuil on 21st May. After the first few fences allowed his own way up front, whether he’ll settle if taken on throughout remains to be seen. Ruby said in an interview immediately afterwards that UDS is better suited by that trip these days. I don’t agree with him, but it’s now probable UDS is equally effective from 2m to 2m4.5f – at least when not taken on and/or when ground is not too testing. Walsh’s words suggest the Ryanair is (at the moment) the intended target. However that could change.
tbh I’d be more inclined to back UDS for the Ryanair @ 9/1 than Champion Chase @ 10/1, trouble is don’t like relying on two horses to make it to middle of March without injury. Because not only do I lose money if UDS were injured, I’d also lose out if Douvan were injured too – because if Douvan doesn’t make Cheltenham long odds-on Un De Sceaux is re-routed back to the Champion.
Willie doesn’t make it easy for us.
Value Is EverythingSurly if Douvan turns up fit and ready they won’t see which way he went!! He is different gear to these and the only danger has retired SS !!

Yes….

Yeah boring race, but a nice dirty EW angle at the moment we can get stuck into, particularly as Fox Norton’s a false price.
Is there any chance at all Altior goes for this?
No chance with Douvan in there. They’ll want to win the arkle then worry about douvan next season (or hope hes stepped up to 3m next season). Theyve no need or rush to skip a step now. They didnt do it with Sprinter.
Has anybody heard any news on Traffic Fluide? I was fairly interested in him in the without Douvan market but haven’t come across any real news on his wellbeing or target.

He’s one of my favourites Tone, I bet him in the Clarence House last year when he was short
headed by Sire De Grugy for a place at big odds. I had him on a couple of bets for Cheltenham
before that race and thought I was sitting pretty until the bad news he was out for the season.
I’ve got a few quid on for the QM Champion Chase so I’m hoping Gary Moore has him sound. The last
report I heard was about 6 weeks ago, Moore said he was coming on on well, but as yet he doesn’t
appear to have any entries. This is a link to the report…..
