Cloone river is rated 130 over hurdles. How exactly will he win the Champion Chase. He'll improve 3st. Sure. I love the horse and have landed two nice touches on him (galway hurdle and curragh on Derby day) but he's no champion Chaser.
The other ridiculous ante post tip is rhinestone cowboy. He will never win a grade 1 at the festival with the worst jockey in Ireland on board. he is not only an amateur but a bad amateur (one of the worst) at that. Godd luck; but you're better off burning your cash.
Can't see BACK IN FRONT going over longer. I don't think he was 100% at the festival and will surely go for the Champion again, though IMO it's going to be Harchibalds year next year. I would also love the mighty Moscow Flyer to do the treble next year in the Champion chase and who know's he might just do it. Anyone else think the flyer can do it again next year? Can you imagine the crowd if he could do it again
direct route what cloone river is rated over hurdles does not matter imo
if moscow is too old what else is there to oppose well chief?? cloone river is classy on the flat and jumped like a stag in his 2 chases last season, obviously he needs to improve but he could easily be second best as id prefer him to central house or kadarann any day
as regards the cowboy if he comes back 80% the horse he was inglis drever wont see which way he went
