I have not backed a Mullins runner over Christmas for at least 4 years its amazing how many run below par, check it out.
Just wondering what people made of sceau royal performance. jumped nicely and seemed to travel in to the race well....Going down to the last he looked like he might have had a chance of picking up the winner but he got in a bit close.
33/1 with pp a fair price? or is he not worth a bet

Just rewatched the Irish 2m chase and not too disheartened with Chacun's performance. Having travelled and jumped fine for most of the race perhaps he tired in last half mile being his first run of season which is perhaps why he struggled to quicken and put the race to bed. Expect improvement next time out and at the end of the day I think most of us backers will be on him at big prices so not the end of the world. And well highlighted on here about the price of A Plus Tard available at a certain bookmakers has given me another potential live dart at a big price.
If you think he’s gonna win the champion chase without a battle your wrong. He was simply out battled today which would be a worry for future races Realistically he’s beat a good horse in Defi but what everyone seems to be forgetting is he was aimed at 2m 4f all year. For me he’s been massively overhyped for what he’s actually achieved. If you’d never seen Min run before Aintree last year, everyone would be saying he’s a certainty for this. Cheltenham is where it’s at, the festivals after that forget as they mean absolutely nothing in relation to form.
Never said he would win a Champion Chase without a battle. It is much harder to battle though if there's not much in the tank as opposed to there being plenty of fuel left. My point is that I'm hoping he will improve for the run. Trying to be optimistic after a couple of rough days antepost haha
He will be better no doubt, I just have massive doubt as to how good he actually is. Yes he tied up at the finish but the question I’d be asking is why was APT as a 2m 4f horse so close to him ?? If he’d have been sent on to win his race and got caught, I could understand the loss being put down to fitness. I’m just not sure he’s the machine everyone was hoping for.
Remember myself and others saying the same this fime last year... He turned it back round, have mostly Elliotts in the book, but not concerned with the Mullins I have, he knows what he is doing!
Are you kidding me,chacon no chance for champion chase..

I would have expected a bigger price after today in all honesty. If he’d have been 8/1 I would have a punt and pray Douvan doesn’t turn up. He’s a shocking price as we stand now, that there is no doubt.
A Plus Tard target still Ryanair unless we get testing ground at Cheltenham in which case he'll come here.
Is that a quote from somebody or your opinion?
