Champion Chase 2018

The ground I think, Altior has never run on heavy & could bounce.. plus UDS is a banker...

There's no reason to bounce. He has had no physical issues. Only had a hobday as a precaution.
I have no bet on this race . Market will be very interesting on the day. Altior 5/4 is not out of question.
 
What a race. Hope it sells out for the sake of it. This race is worth the entrance fee alone and you still get to see Samcro and Monalee vs Presenting Percy.

Yes it is a nice curtain raiser to the main event at 4.10pm!

You joke but that’s how I feel about Fridays racing.

The gold cup will be my warmup for the big one at 4:10 as Burning Ambition wins on the snaff
 
Skybet are

15/8 Douvan
15/8 Min

in the without Altior market.
 
Altior lame this morning according to Henderson (reported on ATR). Being treated - they are still hopeful he will make it

Wow that would be a killer for the race.. Douvan & Min would be split up then..

Hope he runs, I know I backed against him but the race would be nothing without Altior...

A little bit like Barters Hill before he ran in the Albert Bartlett??

That is massively disappointing if he doesn't make it.

So many late bombshells this time it seems!
 
We have all been waiting for Altior v Douvan for years and no sooner than we find out Douvin is in, we learn Altior may well be out. Unbelievable
