Have taken a chance that Well Chief will remain sound to win the Champion Chase 13/2. The way he won at Newbury last season suggests the old sparkle is there. His best is far better han the other principals. Fell early in the Champion then did not stay 2 1/2 at Aintree.

The trouble with backing ante-post for Cheltenham's chases is which race will they run in?
The Festival Chase is now a Grade 1 with added prizee money. Kicking King and War Of Attrition were both thought probable runners in a Grade 2 Festival Chase at one stage in their Gold Cup years. Would Kauto Star have risked not staying the trip in the big one if there was a valuable Grade 1 alternative? Even Best Mate in his first year was thought by some as a doubtful stayer. Some could also switch from the Champion Chase.

My Way De Solzen could run in any of the three races. So could Monet's Garden (or none), Taranis could run over 2 1/2 or 3 1/4m. Where will Don't Push It end up? Even Exotic Dancer could end up at the shorter trip if connections get fed up of chasing Kauto.
