Impressive & nice warm up ahead of Gold Cup for Native River.

BumperD · 10-02-2018 3:50pm

Going to take on Altior with a small win bet polilogue

supremenovice · 10-02-2018 3:56pm

The Arkle is shaping up nicely after that win by Saint Calvados.
The only negative would be if Aidan Coleman is retained - just one Cheltenham Festival winner in his career.

BumperD · 10-02-2018 4:05pm

Altior will come on for that.

Altior is a thing of beauty

prettyboy81 · 10-02-2018 4:06pm

Altior v Min let’s hope they bought arrive for Champion Chase.

Rematch over fences!

What about Douvan (assuming it get's there) and Fox Norton?

BumperD · 10-02-2018 4:11pm

He looks unbeatable again next month

Slattsy · 10-02-2018 4:12pm

Be interesting to see how that goes if Douvan was 100%.

BorneTobyWilde · 10-02-2018 4:13pm

Silver Streak 14-1 BS 6 places
3.35

I like this ones chances , has finished ahead of quite a few of these last time out.
Should be thereabouts again.

NaiveMelodies · 10-02-2018 4:14pm

Some jumping porn there from Altior. A pleasure to watch.

Native River soundest each way bet of the festival.

Wouldn't be worrying about Fox Norton anyway, nothing suggest he will get near Altior. Altior will come on for that and Douvan is an unknown having not run for a year going into the race. Min seems his only plausible challenger on this years form and I'd be suprised if he beat Altior. He is a superb specimen to watch

NaiveMelodies · 10-02-2018 4:19pm

If anyone wins Champion Chase handily they iz special.

4068ac1elhodqr · 10-02-2018 4:21pm

Through the process of elimination (based on one of the many books of knowledge),
that indicates the BFH winner shall be 7yo, 11-1.

The only closest matches are a couple of likely runners (+/- 1-2lb).
Irish Roe @10 / Waterlord @17

As it's 6pl will also try a luckydip with Remiluc@51,
(in an treble e/w) with a couple of lads across over in the golf stick ball, whilst 4pl 1/4 exist going into final rounds.

Will likely also include selections (tbc) from enhancements in 16.35 Lingfield (4pl also via Sky) in the acca arrays.

Worth keeping an eye out for hyperinflation and stock corrections also...

posturingpat · 10-02-2018 4:23pm

Altior very impressive and will he very hard beat in March. Wouldn't give up on Politologue though, hell prob be my e/w bet in it. Will have hated making his own running and got close into most of the fences which isn't usually his style.

BorneTobyWilde · 10-02-2018 4:38pm

Silver Streak fell, great
Poppy Kay for me now

Fox Norton is bound for the Cheap Airline race. Douvan we can only wish a lot of smoke & mirrors with the horse.

posturingpat · 10-02-2018 4:44pm

So close but yet so far with Blue et rouge. That would've been Cheltenham covered

Take the winner out and he was a very impressive winner.

WickIow Brave · 10-02-2018 4:48pm

Great run from Bleu et Rouge can't complain with that. The winner is a serious horse although I'd avoid him at Cheltenham, this race will probably take its toll.

That's not a match, Altior is a far superior horse to Min.

Do people forget Min was turned over by Simply Ned not so long ago.

carq · 10-02-2018 4:53pm

Thoughts on verdana blue e/w for the camp hurdle?

The betfair hurdle looks as tricky a handicap hurdle I can remember.

I like Spiritofthegames at a massive 25/1. Drops down in trip to 2 miles but Newbury will suit him and he'll be staying well to the line. I think his 2nd lto is good form, in my book anyway, so I think he can get into a place.

Kayf Grace is my other. I know Henderson really rated this horse as a bumper and had looked good. Eased back into things this year and won snuggle enough lto. This has almost certainly been the plan and I thought it would be favourite. 12s better than I thought so I'll take that.

Each way play lands.

No idea what happened with that other thing though.

Altoir better but you are forgetting Min put simply ned right last time out beating him 12l easy

Same as that have Altior in a number of accums and think he is a god thing, but you can put a line through all of the Mullins horses runs at that time.

Great Field the forgotten horse of the Champion Chase.

4068ac1elhodqr · 10-02-2018 5:10pm

Remiluc went from 50/1 into 34 within 10mins, always glad for those extra place(s).

Fair point but it still remains Altior is a far superior animal. Min won't get near him next month.

redzerdrog · 10-02-2018 5:27pm

Altior could bounce at Cheltenham
