I'm sure there'll still be excuses if he's beat

absolutely first run of the season, arguably better going left handed, ground a little bit soft..... lol

But when he wins despite all that!! ;-)

I struggle to get excited by him, I just don't get it, his best form is finishing close to Altior, but I'd say his form is patchy in areas besides that.

He'll probably prove me wrong, and definitely not saying he can't win at the weekend, but as a festival candidate is where my problem lies.

I'm surprised they haven't given him a crack up in trip at the top level tbh

He shoudnt be beating a race fit defi de seuil, 1st time up, he should travel well and get done by defi going away.
But will defi be in the qmcc itself. Who knows?

I can actually see him going close at the weekend, so not interest in pre-race excuses.

I also don't think Defi is best over 2m, so don't see why he'd end up in this race, I know a few hope/fancy him for it, which is fair enough, it's all opinions.

It's a tingle creek 1st time up, hardly an excuse. Its the reality of a proper race.

I'll be backing defi and min both ew NRNB for the QMCC if priced up reasonably.

Then with already having sceau royal EW, @20s that will be me done.

If that, at the time, leaves me with just SR ew, so be it

TBF his record fresh after 100+ days off the track is very good, which is why I think he'll go well also.

Won a Grade 2 among them.

I expect him to go well too, but I can plainly see that your setting him up to knock him when he dosent win a very competitive grade1 tingle creek on seasonal debut.

When in all reality hes a solid ew bet @ 20s in the qmcc

I won't knock him anymore than I already have done based on the weekends performance, you have my word.

I had made the same case about him in previous seasons, and like I said, he just doesn't do it for me. Can't knock the 20's E/W, he's got a fair place chance, but he usually finds one too good for me.

I'd probably prefer (and probably will) back him for the weekend.

Do you not think they'll step him up at some point? I see he was given an entry in the Peterborough Chase!

I see him as an out and out 2miler.
And a solid grade 1 2miler at that.

AK said he recieved the entry as the ground may come up heavy again in the tingle creek and he wants a run into him.

Id also like to seee him make all one day, use his jumping and build up an advantage.
 
Been quoted 22/1 for Sceau Royal to win the Tingle creek and QM m.skybet.com/horse-racing/requestabet/event/24637227

i really like him as well, the way he jumped in the schloer last season was immaculate, hopefully he gets his ground in march

22/1?

6/1 for Saturday.

16/1 for Queen Mother.

what am i missing about this? Worst price in history

yeah, i thought it was tight enough myself, would shorten significantly if he wins well though i suppose

Given his previous form + the likely contenders, what price might he go, 10/1 ? Please don't back that double.

i havent, and told them it was tight! :highly_amused:

Extremely tight
He'd do very well to win. If he can get in the mix with uds and defi hes ran a very good race. It's a very strong tingle creek, I dont think many can doubt that.

But he won't be shorter than 9/4 surely.
Altior and Chacum will still head the market regardless of the Tingle Creek result, that 22/1 double is as horrific as prices come, if you like the horse back him for the Tingle Creek and go in again for the Champion Chase if he wins Saturday...

I havent and wont, put it on here in case it did interest anyone. Already backed him for the QM
