RSA Chase 2020

I am all over Battleoverdoyen and think he’s a massive price @ 40/1 (William Hill). Ante Post prices are generally rubbish compared to the days of old, but prices like this give me faith all is not lost! I’ve used quite a few £5 free bets on him @ 25/1 (Skybet), but have decided to take a bigger position @ 40’s.

The 12/1 now is a bit laughable, but a very good early shout Charlie.

How annoying are these articles .... https://www.oddschecker.com/cheltenham-festival/rsa-chase/winner
 
Have I missed some news on Commander Of Fleet?

Bigger price than Allaho despite finishing ahead of him when 2nd in the Albert Bartlett.

Pulled up lame in Ireland after that...


16s with PP, 33 with WH

It was mentioned on twitter he was out for the season, but i can't find any official source, bar the Weekender's Irish tipster!

Out for the season isn’t he Kev.
 
Definitely someone, somewhere, with a story about COF, think he was unlikely to be seen this season or something along them lines, can't find anything myself though.

He's not included in the stable tour though.
 
Just checked my notes. I’ve got down ‘Out for the season’ Gigginstown, Racing Post, 11/8/19.
 
Fair enough. Thanks chaps. 2021's 4 miler winner then :p
 
Doesn't help that the RP called it a scintillating debut. I thought it very decent and satisfactory but noted that the time was slower than the handicap chase.
40/1 is a fine price but 12/1 about a horse that may not handle the track is taking the proverbial.
 
Just taken 16/1 BOD with Hills which I reckon is still value. 2 more runs/wins and he'll be no bigger than 3's on day.
 
The lovely people at Corals gave me 33-1 this morning for B.o.D , sure it should be 16's though.

Agree totally. Lucky enough to have backed while back. Don’t understand why horse is under-rated. Only one poor run in Ballymore when lots Gordon’s were off....and was always a chaser.....obvious target race and def still value

He traveled over really badly, or that was the excuse they used.
 
watching chepstow today and there seems little doubt that most of nicholls horses have needed a run.
Truckers Lodge looked a lot better today.
His win and Golden sunrise subsequent win make the novice chase that Ardlethen and Lisnagar oscar ran in a lot better.
It would be fair to say that those two might benefit from the run also.

I concur with that. When Quel Destin won at the weekend he'd had a run on the flat before.
 
Elliott started Delta Work’s season off in the beginners chase last season at Down Royal in the beginners chase. He has Samcro entered here, so may be following a similar path?

Must be similar as there aren't loads of options in Ireland anyway.

Drinmore the logical target if he's still on track and Gordy will probably highlight a target at some point.

JLT I reckon for him still, but depends hugely on how he shapes!
 
I had a really good look at BoD and came very close to backing him before his race last week, and although he has shortened a fair bit, he's one I'm happy to leave alone. Its going to be a very deep RSA this year and he doesn't strike me as the gutsy warrior type that I like to back for the race.

I already know he will the horse that will haunt me most until March if he continues to shorten, as I actually had him in my betslip before not going through it, but trying to be a bit more selective this year and not back as many in one race.
