Top 3 in the market have it between them. L'eau Du Sud will try and nick an antepost place at 25/1, Marine Nationale will come out, get beat first up then go to a backable price for the placings and a few also-rans will take up their entry on decs day.

Shut it down Eggs

I do like LDS for a place. Especially as Dan likely to win the Shloer chase again with him and then this time not run him again until the big one. He is so much better after a long break.

Still think majborough will be trained at 2 miles. McManus has never won the champion chase. There's always a chance it could be heavy ground and he could put it all together

Walsh mentioned the other day that the layout of the fences and spaces in between might be an issue for Majborough in terms of rhythm and being able to settle. Similar to Solness. I've mentioned on here that at Leopardstown where both have run their best races, the first 3 fences are spread out nicely, whereas at Cheltenham there's a lot more jumping early doors. It's harder to get them relaxed and stretch the field out early and this can lend itself to them doing too much early on at Cheltenham. It's a bit like the Melbourne cup in that there is a lot of piss balling about early on and then it settles down after a bit.

This completely ignores the fact that Majborough is also a daft cunt over a fence every now and then. Which doesn't help.
Is it Friday yet, can't believe I've got to have another Friday tomorrow.

Absolutely. Was an issue for Kemboy and we always thought that the positioning of the fences didn't suit his stride pattern. He jumped well at Leopardstown and Aintree where several fences in a line down a straight allowed him to get in a nice rhythm. Cheltenham is mainly on the turn and some horses just can't find that rhythm.
