Yep. Whoever here took 5/2 NRNB W/O Altior should come on here when Min finishes second and take a bow cause that is top punting!
 
Is it worth attempting acouple of tricasts in this? Altior, Min and then switching up the 3rd?
 
Morning All ,those who missed out on Min w/o Altior etc skybet/betway both 6/4 to finish 2nd or alternatively just back the straight FC with anyone else.
 
If it's soft, Saint Calvados is being slightly ignored in the market.

In the Tingle Creek he finished ahead of Sceau Royal... yet on the same ground SR is shorter again today, despite Sceau Royal being beaten over hurdles against Grand Sancy last time - which doesn't prove he's in good form to me)

Saint Calvados has also beaten the Ryanair fav (Footpad) this season on debut, which although you can pick holes in, was still a good run on yielding ground.

His last run he was 3rd (last of the finishers) but it was on GOOD ground which we know doesn't suit him.


Most people will know I do have a soft spot for the horse, having backed him at 100/1 for last years Arkle, but I can't help but feel he is over looked on his preferred ground! (If it is still soft by the off time)!


He is 9/1 with 365 in the WITHOUT Altior and WITHOUT Min market, at 1/4 the odds (2 places)

I'll just wait for a going update after the first but if it's still soft I'll be adding this.

Interesting Kev. I am hoping they learnt their lesson last year and try and ride him with a little more restraint

I placed a bet with bet365 this morning and received a notification saying I had a feee fiver for the Champion Chase. The Altior/Min forecast was only 11/10 so I left that alone.

Ended up doing Altior/Min/God’s Own at 16/1
 
For me it's Castlegrace Paddy w/o the great Altior. Will like the ground + has the pilot to ride for a place.
 
Not a betting race for me, but can not see altior and min out of the first two, had min last year but can not see why min would beat altior.. would do a straight FC but for a small return so not really worth it, looking forward to just watch the race.. then its TIGER ROLL TIME..
 
Impossible for Altior to lose if he jumps the last.
 
I imagine he would have got up anyway but not sure how the starter let them have 5+ lengths at the start given how he’s been for every other race
 
Does he come back for 3 in a row next year? 3/1 looks awful big, i wouldnt be interested in upping his trip next year, why risk ruining a champion, just enjoy him.

How about the King George as an early season target then back for 3 in a row at Cheltenham,if any horse can,Altior can,a true champ.
