Thompson has said Envoi won't go to the KG after that and Allaho might not either now

After that slog I'd imagine they'll give Allaho some time off and he'll reappear in the race he beat Elimay in, then on to the Ryanair. Envoi I can see being freshened up with a look to competing over 2 miles.

Plus I think Allaho isn't a 3 mile horse given that race - he just goes too hard at it for 3 miles even at Kempton. "No prisoners" in that race today.
 
Probably looking at:

Clan des Obeaux
Minella Indo
Chantry House
Frodon
Asterion Forlonge
Royale Pagaille
Saint Calvados
Fidderlontheroof
Midnight Shadow
 
Asterion Forlonge name checked for this by Mullins in his latest sportinglife column
 
Wonder if the bookies will offer odds on him failing to complete

1/2?
 
Lots of money across the boards for Asterion. Backed down to 6's with PP/Betfair this morning.

Bad price

If clan, indo, chantry house and frodon all run as expected he will be bigger than that on the day surely

Personally, If he runs, I think he'll go off 2nd fav. 7/2 maybe on the day. Best backed horse in the race. 25's into 6's.

Bad price now, and tbh, has been since the JD- was on him that day and was thinking of an antepost on him for this then, but he was cut pretty quick.

I do think he's getting it together ever so slightly though and is capable of running big numbers when things suit him. I'd have him ahead of Chantry House, for all CH is more dependable to just simply run his race.

Love Frodon, and i do get why some are saying this won't be ideal for Minella Indo, but i'd favour him of the front 3 in the market. DR was a pipe opener IMO.

Interested in what way you think the market will go for him to be 2nd fav or thereabouts?

Clan fav or drift?

Indo?

Couldn't see him being any shorter than he is now tbh. He's capable but comes with the risks attached i think his price will always have that factored in for a race like this.
 
You'd be looking at a few non runners for him to go off 7/2! I'd have him over 6/1

Few of you have got nice prices though, so well done with that.

Indo as GC winner and with Overseas sports personality winner Rachel on his back will go off fav. Asterion 2nd fav, then Clan, then Chantry. That's how I see it.

Personally can't see anything other than a Paul Nicholls win here, just not sure which one though!
