Queen Mother Champion Chase Tips

15:30 Cheltenham
El Fabiolo Silk 4
  • Age:7
  • Weight:11-10
  • Form:1111-11
  • OR:175
Just eight face the starter for the 2M Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase. Yet again we have a very warm Willie Mullins trained favourite in El Fabiolo. He’s six from six over fences including taking the Arkle Novices’ Chase at the meeting last year and the Simon Munir & Isaac Souede owned seven year old is hard to oppose. His chief rival is the Nicky Henderson trained Jonbon who was firmly put in his place by El Fabiolo in the Arkle last season going down by 5 1/2L and hardly boosted his chances for this when blundering his way around when beaten a neck by the re-opposing Elixir De Nutz here on trials day in the re-arranged Clarence House Stakes. Edwardstone employed new forcing tactics when blitzing his rivals at Newbury last time but is up against it in this company and this can and should go to the favourite bar any accidents.

Queen Mother Champion Chase Racecard

Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase (Grade 1) (GBB Race)

Going: Soft (Heavy in places)

Jonbon narrowly got the better of EL FABIOLO in their novice hurdle days but the latter readily exacted his revenge in last season's Arkle. Willie Mullins' charge hasn't put a foot wrong in three starts since, arguably producing a career-best performance when sweeping aside smart mare Dinoblue at the Dublin Racing Festival last month, and he can confirm his superiority over his main rival en route to making it seven from seven over the larger obstacles. Jonbon kicked off the season with two victories over Edwardstone and would almost certainly have won the Clarence House on the New course here in January but for a bad mistake four out. He is reunited with Nice de Boinville and demands respect, while all-the-way Game Spirit scorer Edwardstone should give a good account from the front but could be vulnerable to younger legs once the race begins in earnest turning for home.
