I think you might be talking through your wallet. I have backed her ante post for the TC but after that slog in the mud on Sunday think connections should wait until Christmas at Leopardstown.
If you think 2 or 3 points affects my opinions you're very much mistaken
As you have now said, surprised would have been a better choice of word though and I totally agree.
I'd be surprised too, but I hope they do for my points and because I like horses racing

I certainly wouldn't be backing Altior based on his Newbury Gallop today. He didn't look good at all. Was being pushed out just to keep up with a cantering Epatante who's Jockey did all he could to give Altior some help. Maybe he just needed it badly but......

I think Nicholls will win it again. Greaneteen would get my vote.

That isn't a gimmie for Altior.
The current Champion Chaser, two up-and-comers in Greanateen and Rouge Vif.
I can't put a percentage on it, but he's been all out to beat Politilogue in a QMCC before, almost 2 years ago. Will he be better now than he was then?
Looking forward to that, if they all stand their ground!
Surprised Altior remained 7/2 for as long as he did especially after name checking for the race(not that Hendo can be taken at face value).Rain due Thur-sat so my only concern would of been on good ground,as if not at his best he potentially could of been done for toe if not retaining all his ability. No excuses with softer ground expected.
Come on the Altior.
I think it's dangerous taking the odds on Altior at this stage and it'd be safer waiting until after final decs.
The wind will only have to be blowing in the wrong direction for Hendo to pull him out.
I really like Politilogue in this and took the 10/1 and 8/1 a while ago. He'd have little to no chance if a prime Altior turned up but I'm not convinced Altior is going to be the horse he was. Hope I'm wrong on that though
Very much a guessing game to what Altior still has the locker agreed, just hope it's plenty. Wouldn't be taking odds on & inevitably Hendo will say something through week to push the price a bit
