Champion Chase 2027

Possibly but he might have shortened up to around 5's again by then.
I agree with you Lobos this is normally what you see happen, they get pushed out trainer says this and that, there is hype around them running again they end up a similar price to what they were.

Rather use my eyes than get involved with hype, trainer comments etc.
My eyes tell me to leave him alone at current prices.

Absolutely. It's a preference thing of course but for those that ARE going to back him BEFORE he runs again then now might be the best time before his price retracts again.
 
At some point the hype surrounding a good supreme winner and the Mullins factor etc which keeps his price shorter than it should be, needs to be balanced with his jumping performances, which imo fall a fair bit short of a Queen Mother winner.
Personally think that point has been reached.
Now of course jumping can improve, and to win top 2m chases at senior level it has to and pretty quickly.
I dont think prices reflect that.
WTAF prices in his next race will be interesting.
 
It's not in any doubt that his jumping has been a big issue but He's still very likely to be odds on again for his next race so WTAF prices are not likely to be appealing.
