2017 Champion Chase

Very much a forgotten horse and that's because people look at this race and think there's only 1 running, same in Arkle....
 
God's Own 7/2 against Fox Norton 9/4 W/O Douvan

GLV at 10/1 NRNB 1/5 the odds for top 4?

Fox Norton, Gods Own, Special Tiara the only ones ahead in the betting?
 
I thought Fox Norton was heading to Ryanair ?
Can't have Special Tiara.
That 7/2 looks OK Kev...
 
Alary for the Ryanair? Fox Norton here?
Either way, Fox Norton won't be ahead of God's Own.

Looks easily the second best horse in the race?

Lami Serge? Pfft
 
L'ami Serge for the grand annual according to Jerry McGrath apparently.
 
Hendo said "attack attack attack" regarding L'ami in his blog regarding the CC too .... but that was a week ago... I wouldn't back him over a fence in any race so it is irrelevant. Better hurdler.
 
I've just had to take some 100/30 Gods Own without Douvan, should be no bigger than 7/4 and when everyone runs scared of Douvan he will be a short price

Had 3 points each way on myself after my post an hour or so ago Ista! Spot on...

5 points back if God's own is in the first 4 in this years CC at worst... obviously the win is much better.

Almost a free bet on him beating Fox Norton to my mind and I've made my thoughts clear on that horsey.

L'Ami Serge schooled this morning and is apparently heading for the Grand Annual, according to Jerry McGrath.

^ Nicky changes his mind again ? - James Norris is usually on the ball.
 
Really want to back one of Fox Norton or God's Own in the w/o Douvan market myself, as they will both surely shorten significantly. But can't split them for the life of me.
 
Sir Valentino in without is on my radar

You can back both CCM, there's 4 places to be filled in what is likely to be a 7/8 runner race, though Fox Norton could easily end up Ryanair....
 
Fox Norton is abysmal. I can just about accept he might get in the first 4 if he ran :devilish:

Why have you got such a downer on Fox Norton Kev? The Tizzard's aren't bad judges and they paid good money for him I really like him.
 
Post-race examination found Douvan to be lame behind following his defeat in the Champion Chase.
Trainer Willie Mullins said: "He is quite sore and we'll get an x-ray and maybe an MRI scan done in the next couple of days"

Jumping left a lot to be desired - maybe hurt himself in a blunder ?
