    But he didn’t stay last year did he despite the slow pace

    Don’t get me wrong I think hes very good, I think he will definitely win the betfair chase again

    If he were mine I’d go betfair chase, then give the king George one more try then freshen up for aintree and miss this

    Who Santini.??

    Did everything in behind not stay then.?
    Slower pace would have helped others ahead of Santini imo
    Also worth noting he is still very lightly raced, no reason why he can’t improve

    I don’t see any reason that ABP won’t be right there again, but equally Allaho and Minella Indo are very appealing as well, and I think I’ll follow Greenasgrass in betting him now. I think 25/1 is a big price.

    For me you don’t take Lostintranslation near Kempton, and keep him to left handed tracks. He’s better left handed and that’s not solely based on last season, check his novice run at Sandown as well.

    Put this in the RSA thread by accident.

    Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!

    Tizzard has mentioned that Lostintranslation goes to Kempton.

    Yeah Mike, i see that, but that’s my view he isn’t as fluent going right handed- no doubt that run last year wasn’t down to being right handed- but i’d be surprised if he wins at Kempton.

    I’d be much happier if they kept well away from kempton but money talks , if he was to win at haydock then they,ll be the bonus to chase

    I’m surprised Tizzard’s going to Haydock again with Lostintranslation. I can’t recall a horse doing the Haydock / Cheltenham double, although Imperial Commander came close.
    We need an alternative race at similar time. Possibly something on Ladbroke Trophy weekend

    I think the race is alrite, if it were up to me I would just move it earlier in the calendar, to a week before the Paddy Power Gold Cup. That gives the horses more recovery time for the King George if they want to attempt the treble as it can get exhausting on the ground.

    Agreed Mike, and not just for the sake of the winner. Remember Tea for Two staggering over the last couple of fences the year BDM won by a record margin on heavy? He probably still wouldn’t have beaten Might Bite in the KG but it may have made for a closer more exciting finish.

    Santini is going Betfair Chase (at the moment), Cotswold Chase, and Gold Cup.

    The first contender comes out today

    Though minella indo is notoriously hard to get fit so no surprise if he gets beat as he will probably be as fat as a butchers dog
