Queen Mother Champion Chase 2020

Just hoping that Lalors confidence has been restored after the break and can get back to his true self today after last season. He's well so fingers crossed!

His debut last year will live long in the memory for me westcountry so this might just be the time to catch him. Have backed him at 6/1 today.

Kayley is convinced he scared himself at Cheltenham and his jumping wasn't ever as good afterwards. ..hoping that he has recovered his electric jumping that he always had at home. Looking forward to a good days racing.

Really? I'd never have thought that. He was so good over his fences that day.

I think the horse probably needs decent ground to show his best and can win in spite of soft going, but it will take alot out of him and really leave its mark.

:highly_amused:

He is a horse who will always divide opinion imo. I think he's absolutely brilliant on his day... just doesnt show it consistently!
 
Nothing agst Lalor , a admirable horse and understand why connections feel like they do about him.

That said he just hasnt carried that early season form from last season forward.

I just dont think he is good enough at level they continue to aim him at , you cant keep on blaming ground , course or trip , else you start morphing into Ruth Jefferson & Waiting Patiently.

Great shout TB perfectly put however let’s not resurrect Waaaaaaaaaaiting Patiently &RJ :-)))))
 
He showed absolutely nothing today and I for one was very disappointed.
 
Chancun Por Soi entered for King George which is a little surprising and adds stock to the possibility of him stepping up to Ryanair?

You’d imagine the well-being of other Mullins chasers will influence where he places them. Personally I think he sticks to 2m but i’m all over Chacun wherever he runs. Looks the real deal.

Personally think he'll he found out this season and don't like how delicate he is injury wise. He'll probably prove me completely wrong though!!

Or just means Willie Mullins still block enters horses for grade 1 races.

Wouldn't read anything into it at all.


There will always be a chance the horse runs in the Ryanair though.




Un De Sceaux is gonna win the QMCC this year, finally.
 
Cilaos Emery entered up tomorrow at Naas van winter Escape and Ornua.

Handy beating of Ornua will be good to show who the class act was from last years 2m novices was

Think Oruna is a very underated horse. Think he'll take high rank among the 2 milers this year. Couldn't be trained by a better man for the job either

Think he’s very good but will ultimately be found out at the very top level.
 
Agreed Charlie. Love ornua but wouldn’t have him quite good enough.

Interesting Mullins mentioned 2 1/2 for cilaos...will see how he gets on

Where / when did Mullins mention 2.5 ?

Bet Cilaos Any Race market rather than CC more by accident than design 365 are starting to get funny with my account
Not funny haha
 
Cilaos Emery may need an uncharactistically full campaign for a Mullins horse to get the required experience to be a player in this race?

Probably the worst horse to get injured last year ante-post for loads of us... the 20/1 to make amends this year doesn't tempt me...

1/2 is no price to be getting on at tomorrow either...

I can't see me getting him onside really :(

Hadn’t really properly considered him until your post Kev and I think I do want to get him in my book. I like many on here was convinced he was last year’s Arkle winner and the Champion Chase this year has an open look about it. I am heavily invested in Chacun, but mainly any race as I do think there is some doubt over trip for him, let alone the risk of keeping him sound. Take him out and take Altior out and it’s not inconceivable that CE could be Mullins’ number one in a wide open field. I’ve considered the any race option but strangely I don’t think that I’d fancy him as much in the Ryanair... mainly down to strength of opposition but not convinced he wants an extra half in any case. Like you tho, 20s for this is a little skinny so have tried to double Blackbow with him today and if Blackbow goes down will have to quickly reassess.
