I’m wishing for Altior to make it and run a good race - had a few AP bets before they came out and mentioned he needed an op
My worry is, I have a strict rule - don’t back anything which has had a intrupted campaign and going into the festival without a good prep run
The Champion Chase is brutal, they got hard and you need to be on point. No matter what Henderson does between now and March, Altior will not be 100% prep’ed for this race - he’d need at least 1-2 races.
Yorkhill is in the same boat, and as for Douvan, I can’t see him running at all!!!
Politologue is the only horse in there that has had a complete season. If I followed my notes then I should be backing him but like most, finding it difficult to do so
I did like Fox Norton, but trainer form and going up in trip is just madness
Special Tiara?! Proven and like good ground at that time of year. But....Hmmmm not sure if he’ll let him steal lengths like he did last year. They’ll be watching him closely. Plus I would imagine that he’ll start below under par - age is bound to catch up with him
Hmmmm
