Have I missed something? But Value At Risk has been steadily backed in the Close Brothers Chase, I've only seen him get a mention on one preview reading on here?

He's a classy horse but I'd be really worried about his jumping in such a big field.Originally posted by paz247 View PostComment

Don't fancy value at risk myself , plenty of good alternatives i think.Comment

I've seen the Skeltons say they think VAR is a graded horse in a handicap but I'm with you FM and BC, hasn't set the jumps on fire reallyComment

I think that's actually a big negative for Cheltenham Paz, horses who are dropping in grade generally struggle, also horses who have 7lb claimers on (in handicaps).Originally posted by paz247 View Post
Although that downgrade stat only applies to last run which is not the case for VAR...Comment

He was a little bit more convincing at Bangor but that was a four runner race. This will be an entirely different challenge and not sure Cheltenham is his track either. He could easily be 'gone' after a few fences.Comment

GaryNutting on ATR put him up in his long range forecast ... that can clip a couple of points?Originally posted by paz247 View PostComment

Skelton last year after superb story, said if they think they have something well handicapped. They put it away and wait for Cheltenham
So maybe people are picking up on that,Comment

To be fair, Ch'tibello in Ayr last year does back that up somewhat...Originally posted by Mr mulligan View PostComment

Is there anywhere you can see the revised weights for the handicaps on day 1? Looking at Card in Irish racing and its sorting it alphabetically. Any help appreciated . They won't release that media pack again will they?Comment

Racing post should have them under big race entries? you can sort by marks etc.Originally posted by BrensTrickyReds View PostComment

Initially I had banged on about Squouateur for the Close Brothers Handicap on day, unfortunately he doesn't look like making the weights but has an entry and has been well backed for the Kim Muir. He has looked like a plot, as stated previously, all along by JP, and what really intrigues me is Jamie Codd has said he will probably ride one for Gordon Elliott, not specifically stating this race, but I being a JP owned horse I think this may be the one! Still 8/1, IF Codd jumps on board he'll be nearer half that come the day!Comment

@COD, I was at a preview with Elliott on Wednesday and Codd rides for him in the KM. Ruby also waded in saying he was a "good thing" in the Kim Muir.Comment
